As vague as it may sound but the recent
realizations made me see it in a different light. I’m quite a typical when it
comes to video games- for me they are nothing but a means to pass time… a waste
of time in other words. And in view of passing the time, I found myself pretty
much stuck with this super addictive game called ‘Temple Run’. Not to mention
it, I am still trying to get rid of this addiction. But this was until recently
that I realized it’s more of a learning thing than just a game. A game that can
teach more than just serving your leisure!
The first and the foremost thing
that it teaches is to concentrate.
The funny thing is we don’t have to put effort to concentrate here. It’s just
so. But we do understand that concentration is the one thing that you can’t do
away with.
Second in the list is timing. Perfect timing is what you need
and perfect timing is what you need to work upon. That defines and makes your
game. Not just the ‘game’ game but the actual happenings around you.
Next comes the consistency! For me, it’s one of the
most important stuff to deal with. And sadly I suck at it. Quite frankly, it
seems to me an amalgamation of all the above traits plus speed and practice.
Last but not the least, it
teaches us to define the proverb ‘Practice
makes a man perfect.’ And I can’t agree more, given that the more you
practice, the better you become at your game.
I’m sure there is more than this.
But for now, I can come down to these few points only. Hope to add a few more
to my list.
Until later,
