May tanong na bumabagabag sa aking isipan: Magiging magkatulad ba ang resulta
02:42
reactAng reaksiyon ng the sameparehong way as the AmericanAmerikano kidsmga bata?
51
144000
3000
kung mga batang Latino sila kaysa sa batang Amerikano?
02:45
So I wentnagpunta to ColombiaColombia. And I reproducedmuling ginawa the experimenteksperimento.
52

3000
Kaya pumunta ako ng Colombia. At inulit ko ang eksperimento.
02:48
And it was very funnynakakatawa. I used fourapat na, fivelimang and sixanim na yearstaon oldLumang kidsmga bata.
53

3000
At naging nakakatuwa naman; ang mga bata ay edad apat, lima, at anim.
02:51
And let me showipakita ang you what happenednangyari.

So what happenednangyari in ColombiaColombia?
56
272000
2000
Anong nangyari sa Colombia?
04:52
HispanicHispanic kidsmga bata, two out of threetatlo atekinain the marshmallowmarshmallow;
57
274000
3000
Mga batang Latino, dalawa sa bawat tatlo, kinain ang marshmallow;
04:55
one out of threetatlo did not.
58
277000
2000
isa sa bawat tatlo naman ay nakapagtiis.
04:57
This little girlbatang babae was interestingkawili-wiling;
59
279000
2000
Nakakatuwa ang batang ito;
04:59
she atekinain the insideloob of the marshmallowmarshmallow.
60
281000
2000
kinain niya ang loob ng marshmallow.
05:01
(LaughterTawanan)
61
283000
1000
(Tawanan)
05:02
In other wordsmga salita, she wanted us to think that she had not eatenkinakain it, so she would get two.
62
284000
4000
Samakatuwid, gusto niyang isipin natin na hindi niya kinain iyon, para makakuha siya ng isa pa.
05:06
But she atekinain it.
63
288000
2000
Pero kinain niya ito.
05:08
So we know she'llkukunin niya be successfulmatagumpay. But we have to watch her.
64
290000
3000
Kaya alam natin na magtatagumpay siya. Ngunit kailangan natin siyang bantayan.
05:11
(LaughterTawanan)
65
293000
1000
(Tawanan)
05:12
She should not go into bankingpagbabangko, for examplehalimbawa,
66
294000
3000
Hindi siya pwede sa banko, halimbawa,
05:15
or work at a cashcash registermagrehistro.
67
297000
2000
o magtrabaho bilang kahera.
05:17
But she will be successfulmatagumpay.
68
299000
2000
Pero magtatagumpay siya.
05:19
And this appliesangkop ang for everything. Even in salesbenta.
69
301000
2000
Totoo ito kahit saan. Kahit sa pagtitinda.
05:21
The salesbenta persontao that --
70
303000
4000
Ipagpalagay natin, isang tindera --
05:25
the customerkostumer saysSabi ni, "I want that." And the persontao saysSabi ni, "Okay, here you are."
71
307000
2000

05:27
That persontao atekinain the marshmallowmarshmallow.
72
309000
2000
Kinain ng taong iyon ang marshmallow.
05:29
If the salesbenta persontao saysSabi ni, "Wait a secondIkalawang.
73
311000
2000
Kung sinabi ng tindera, "Teka muna.
05:31
Let me askHilingin sa you a fewilang questionsmga tanong to see if this is a good choicepagpili."
74
313000
3000

75
316000
1000
Sigurado mas marami ang benta mo.
05:35
So this has applicationsmga aplikasyon in all walksNaglakad of life.
76
317000
5000
Nagagamit ito sa lahat ng aspeto ng buhay.
05:40
I endkatapusan with -- the KoreansKoreano did this.
