ACHIEVING GREATNESS IN (GAMING) LIFE

By Andre M. Dubari

ARTICLE SERIES #6 “Let’s Talk About Game!”

It is said that ,”all roads lead to Rome”, that there are many different

ways to reach the same destination.

Greatness is one of the most favourite destination , yet it

harbors only a few. Why?

As greatness itself resides so high that most people quit on their way up,

the road itself only get worse.

Compare it to the phenomenon of levels design in game. Not only to keep the players from getting bored, but also to provide more challenges. The bigger the prize, the bigger the challenge.

There isn’t any easy way to do it. That is for sure. But game teach us a

lot about it.

What you need to do to achieve greatness in game

(such as completing the game, achieving the highest score, unlocking secret levels,

weapons, characters, etc) is actually quite simple

(yes, sometimes it’s not easy) :

complete the quest or task which is given to you.

When I played RPGs, I learned that completing a quest leads you to another challenge, but at the same time, you start to get the bigger picture of the problem. And when all the puzzle solved, when you get all the picture, you achieve what people call as greatness.

“Sometimes when I consider what tremendous consequences come

from little things, I am tempted to think

there are no little things.”

~ Bruce Barton

The construction of greatness is consist of small victory, small winning, but yes they counts. We tend to make mistakes, we fall

sometimes, but we (should be able to) learn something from that. The bigger the prize, the bigger the challenge.

So how big you wish your life achievement will be?
