Focus on long-term satisfaction, not satisfaction right now. Many times what we want right now will work against what we want long term, and we need to let the long-term goal overrule the short-term goal. For instance, our long-term goal might be to lose weight, but we want a candy bar now. If we choose the candy bar, we are working against the long-term goal of losing weight. Even if we end up choosing the short-term goal, at least we became aware that we have a longer-term goal we are in conflict with, and over time we may begin to choose the longer-term goal on a more consistent basis.

今の満足でなく、長期の満足に焦点を当てよ。今望んでいることが長期的に望むのと反対に作用することがたくさんあるので、短期的な目標よりも長期的な目標を重視する必要がある。例えば、長期的な目標が体重を減らすことであっても、今キャンディーが欲しくなる。もしキャンディーを選べば、体重を減らすという長期的な目標に逆らっているのである。たとえ結局短期的な目標を選んだとしても、少なくとも我々は長期的な目標と戦うことに気づき、次第に長期的な目標をより常に選ぶようになっていくのである。
