Although this flow of emigration of labour benefits the economic development of Eastern China, also has become a major problem for rural development, as it collects today China Central television (CCTV).

The guys with more self control become prosperous and healthy adults

|

(www.neomundo.com.ar) the virtues that are learned from childhood give good fruits throughout life. The guys already exercising self-control at the age of three are more likely to become healthy, wealthy and successful adults, concluded a new investigation.

In turn, the authors argued that children with lesser self-control have one higher risk of leaving school, break the law and have economic problems. “Self-control is vital to evaluate the horizon and be prepared for what may happen, in order to plan future and get to where you want to carry well with other people, to get help and support, and to wait to get the really good stuff instead of embarking on a short term fun.” “We all use self-control but some use it better than others,” said Terrie Moffitt, of Duke University (United States).

QUÉ ES EL self-control

the authors explained that the lack of self-control is evident in the low tolerance to frustration, low persistence in achieving the objectives, the difficulty of maintaining an activity, impulsiveness, hyperactivity and difficulty to wait for a turn.

“A boy of three years with a good self can concentrate on a puzzle or game and continue until it resolved, taking turns with another child and obtaining satisfaction the good results.” “A young man with little self-control may refuse to participate in an activity requiring effort, leave the puzzle by half to run around the room, losing the piers, cry or make a scandal rather than be satisfied”, detailed Moffitt.

Self-control for A good future

the authors worked with 1000 boys born in 1972 and 1973, and continued its evolution until they met 32 years of age. At various times of his life they measured their ability to self-control speaking directly with youth volunteers or with their parents and teachers.

Moffitt noted that participants with greater self-control at the age of three became adults healthy and prosperous, while the boys without this virtue were more likely to adopt negative behaviors such as smoking, become pregnant in adolescence or be unemployed. At the same time, they showed one higher risk of being obese, suffer from hypertension, cholesterol problems, having economic problems or suffer from an addiction.

The expert considered that “while scientific research can develop treatments against malaria, the change must be in human behavior”.
