聪明人都这样！
You're smarter ！
You have high self-control
自制力很强
Zoher Ali writes that smart people are able to overcome impulsiveness by "planning, clarifying goals, exploring alternative strategies and considering consequences before [they] begin."
佐尔•阿里写道，聪明的人能通过“计划——明确目标——寻找多种策略——在行动前考虑后果”来克服冲动。
Scientists have found a link between self-control and intelligence. In one 2009 study, published in the journal Psychological Science, participants had to choose between two financial rewards: a smaller payout immediately or a larger payout at a later date.
科学家们也发现了自制力和智商之间的联系。在2009年发表在《心理科学》的一项研究中，参与者需要在两种奖金中作出选择：马上可以得到一小笔奖金，或晚些时候得到更大的一笔奖金。
Results showed that participants who chose the larger payout at a later date — i.e., those who had more self-control — generally scored higher on intelligence tests.
结果显示，选择在晚些时候获得更大奖励的参与者，也就是自制力更高的人，智商测试的分数更高。
The researchers behind that study say that one area of the brain — the anterior prefrontal cortex — might play a role in helping people solve tough problems and demonstrate self-control while working toward goals.
研究人员表示，人脑的前额叶皮层也许起到了协助人们解决难题并在实现目标的过程中行使自制力的作用。
