Delayed
Like to think that I made the right decision instead of an impulsive one

I like my gratification just like my coffee. Instant.

For the most part, I love instant gratification. But I love delayed gratification even more. It's not my first instinct though. I usually have to get there by choices other than my own.

I was afraid to open this for some reason. Now I'm disappointed.  No gratification at all.

I also prefer my gratification to be shared with others

I guess this thread enjoys delayed gratification.
Personally, I enjoy delayed gratification. It's so much better when there is a buildup before you get the big prize.
Anticipation rocks.
Too much of a buildup can be problematic though...
If I had to wait 3 months instead of 2 for my big screen TV, I wouldn't have been able to watch the SuperBowl on it....
yeah,...that's it...
