Growing up as the only girl in a family has its own advantages; one of which is having interest in video games. Playing video games is one of the hobbies that is mostly male dominated. Hence, seeing a female who is even interested in playing is like seeing a dinosaur in this generation. I started playing Video Games from the time of the SEGA down to PlayStation(PS) consoles. So, I would say I am very well acquainted with the system.My favorite games are FIFA. NBA and Mission Games.

Below I will list the lessons I have learnt playing video games. They are actually Plenty but for the sake of time, I would be listing about five lessons.

1.Views/Results are different from every angle : While I was playing FIFA this morning, I had a difficult time trying to maneuver the defenders in the opposing team in other to clear the path for a goal. I repeated the same pattern of playing the whole first half and was unable to score. I decided to play another pattern in the next half to see if there would be a change. Voila! I started scoring. I ended up winning by 4 - Nil.
I have applied this same method in life so many times and it has really helped. For example If I did same category of investments and none worked out. Rather than not investing again, I change what I invest in and the pattern to use.


2.Do not Relent : I was playing NBA 2K16 with a friend some months back. We were in the 4th quarter of the game and I was winning by 92- 44 . I felt with the amount of time left, he wouldn't break even so I relaxed. I was mocking him at same time while the dude was busy planning his comeback. Before the 4th quarter ended, my friend equalized and even won the game. I felt like a pack of shit.
Even in your most comfortable position, do not relax and loose all guard. It is never over until it is over.

3.Management: I had played RPG games in the past where I ran out of ammunition to complete a stage. It continued this way until I learnt how to manage the little ammunition I had. Life is not an all-you-can-eat buffet and you can’t always get what you want, so be smart with what you have and focus on what’s most important.


4.Patience/Persistence : When I first started playing FIFA games, It was boring to me because I kept losing. At a point, I thought playing game was not meant for me but on a second thought, I decided to keep playing until I am perfect.
In whatever you are doing, If you are able to be persistent, there are a lot you can accomplish.

5. Failure: An Avenue for Learning : When I kept losing my FIFA matches, I had to go back and learn properly how to do it. If I had not lost consecutively, I wouldn't see the need to learn how to play well.
Repeated failure wakes up the zeal to learn in most people.

Being wise is completing a game in the legend of Zelda series without having to use a walkthrough.

This should be for addicts.There is moderation to every thing otherwise it becomes a flaw.

No 2, very right, was playing NBA live mobile, and I lost 13 pt lead in the final quarter, I nearly smacked my phone on the ground cos that game made me loose my 5th consecutive match

great points there...esp. being too relaxed and overconfident.

anger management

ability to make quick decisions while under pressure

gives a general knowledge of that particular game in real time like how to drive a car, airplane, handling of guns etc

Thanks for this very useful post. We play games just for fun and to pass our time. But there are something that we can learn from there. How to do task in time, you have to be intelligent and hardworking to reach your target, etc.
