Instant Gratification Can Be Good, Delayed Gratification Bad IMPROOVE

I know there's a pervasive message that all instant gratification is bad and all delayed gratification is good
  
  
But I've experienced delaying gratification and it only led to loss, and have been reflecting on how some instant gratification might fix certain problems I have otherwise "patiently" put up with
  
  
So I guess this is a reminder that delayed or instant gratification are to be balanced
  
  
There are a few articles on how instant gratification can be used for good, by giving you appropriate little rewards frequently
  
  
Something to think about: when can delayed gratification be harmful and instant gratification be good?

Nothing is good or bad, the way the individual reacts or handles the choice in question is good or bad.
