Gamers Win At Life
Posted by Stretch | Filed under Games, News
Gamers are often the target of jokes, but they may have an advantage in life that other people don’t. Gamers are good at solving life problems in the games they play in order to beat the next boss, and reach the next level.
Another thing that gamers excel in (most of the time anyway) is their ability to stick with objectives. I know the typical stereotype of a gamer is usually someone who is a slacker. But in real life, this is far from the truth, and many of the gamers I know past and present are some of the most diligent folks I’ve met.
Gamers are persistent to a fault when it comes to completing missions or goals in games — just look at the Achievement Points. There is a mindset that things have to get done no matter what, and this translates to someone who understands what it means to take up a diificult task and stick to it until it is completed. Pretty good qualities for an individual when facing life’s curve balls, wouldn’t you say?
