What Video Games Thought Me About Business

Yes, I ’m a gamer. Since the release of Pong, Pac Man and Donkey Kong have changed the world, and Rush's “Tom Sawyer” has been playing since the national anthem of video gamers. Even today, video games have taught me a lot about being successful in today's business world.

Let's start with one of the basics. Every video game is either a puzzle to solve or a variation of chess. Some games are both as in the Assassin's Creed series. Find the best way to achieve mission goals while planning for the future, as in the real world. When your child [or you] plays Fortnite, players look for resources [today] that will help them survive in the second half of the game [strategy].

Fortnite's team options are a good example of collaboration and collaboration. One player will be hard to survive. Teaming up with other players makes it easier to win. Players can exchange resources and weapons, protect each other and build a fort together. It's similar to what each of us does every day in the professional world. Well, not a fort, but we build a business together. We purchase supplies, create business partners, and partner for the benefit of everyone.

Of course, depending on the relationship, you need to negotiate a little. You and others want something, whether it ’s a simple purchase or a more spectacular venture. Games like Monopoly and Fallout teach negotiation skills. Listen to share other people's interests, remove emotions from discussion, and look for alternatives to achieve both goals. That everyone is happy means more opportunities in the future.

Knowing all of the above doesn't prevent unexpected situations. Zombies can jump out of the shadows, and opponents sitting on the roof can ruin the game. Computer crashes, power outages, or sick employees can occur unexpectedly. The good thing is the bad thing. Are you ready to throw at you in any life?

Finally, enjoy another basic matter. Each of us spend a lot of time working. There are great days and not many days, but your passion is always there. Otherwise, it is a sign that requires a break or change. I hope your life will be filled with the happiness, joy and accomplishment you can handle.

Finally, I will summarize some facts. The average US gamer is 32 years old and 40% of women are players. By 2020, the US video game industry will be worth $ 90 billion. The Xbox gamertag is HappyJohn9000.
