I feel like my whole life has built up to this moment. It is truly make or break time.

I have spent the last 5 years researching the science behind how normal people used their willpower to achieve extraordinary success. Then writing about the simple, proven ways you can follow their lead.

I claim to have the answers to the equation of what it takes to will yourself through the hard times and come out the other side victorious.

Hope that the judge would hear their cases thoughtfully and free them to return to society as reformed convicts.

Each case was the same:

They both committed fraud.

They both were serving 30-month sentences.

That was the question on researchers minds as they tested the impact of a healthy breakfast on high school students. They split the students into 3 groups with different foods to see which would lead to the best behavior and academic performance.

The second group of students was given an unhealthy breakfast of high-glycemic foods like bagels muffins and Pop-Tarts.
