Lessons from Typer Shark

It's been close to a week since. Not a very good impression to create i guess, especially for a rookie blogger. Should start off the blog with a big bang - a few entries per day, no? - to create the earnestness, the momentum, the excitement...but aniwei, since i din do it, i decided to cheat a little, by changing the time of this entry. Yup, old habits die hard.Hee hee, well, its not exactly cheating is it? The ideas from this blog did germinate at the time....jus that, erhmm, it requires some processing to piece it all together.

Well, one reason for not blogging is definitely typer shark-this game i have (unfortunately) discovered just before my exams. Have since been hooked to it and i guess all the typing saps any hand power i have left to blog. This game does wonders man...on top of being a superb distractor, entertainer,time killer, its a self discovery tool too. Yup, now we can do away with all the personality tests and what nots that cost a bomb just to tell us things we already know about ourselves. Typer Shark can do all that and more! How determined one is, how one channels his/her energy into the task at hand, whether one is avoidant/confronational in nature, whether one is patient/impatient...to find out, pls play Typer Shark. *wink*

Lessons learnt:
1) To keep calm in all circumstances
No matter how bleak the situation is,when the end seems near, the key is to keep calm to hit the right keys and score more points. When the mind is calm, it has a ripple effect on the rest of the body, so that the calmness transcends all.

2) Live with the mistakes
Mistakes are continually committed and there are so many times where I feel so turned off by silly mistakes that cost a live or a chance (in the game, what were you thinking about:P) , i give up and restart the game. But how is this possible in real life, to start from scratch, to reverse everything and retake an action, a move, a decision? Hardly any chance i guess.
Note to myself: I have got to learn to accept my mistakes and move on instead of harping on the wrongs and wallowing in pity/anger/ifs and buts ,dwelling on it to no avail and waste a second chance.

3) Do not give up
Many times, it seems so bleak, almost certain that game's over, but the game's not over till it is announced and every millisecond before that is a chance to redeem the situation and if the mind is set to doing it, a reversal is possible.

A reminder to always give the matter at hand the best shot regardless of how unlikely, the desired outcome may be. There are too many times where i have chosen to give up when actually, the situation could have been salvage

Gee, its starting to sound preachy, but well, since i am already too sunk into the game, i might as well get something out of it. Other lessons till later, its back to the game now.:)
