Lessons I found in video games

The Monkeyball Games:

Sometimes it's all about thinking it through and figuring it out in your head, and other times it's all about just going for the goal without looking around or hesitating. Either way can be very rewarding.

The way you think about a problem or challenge can sometimes determine your success. And sometimes your success will change the way you think about things. Perspective is such an important key to learning.

The Sonic the Hedgehog games:

"Nothing starts until you take action. If you have time to worry, just run." Just start working on what is worrying you, or if you can't, forget about it for a while!

Helping people can be fun!

You can still be happy while doing difficult or scary things.

It's important to follow your heart, because everyone has an intuition about right and wrong. If you are doing what is right, never give up your fight.

When you are confident in yourself, not much can stop you. It's not always easy to as confident as the characters in Sonic, it's worth it to work towards confidence and independence.

Whatever you do with your life, you should enjoy it and be able to find ways to make it fun. That's what will take you far, is finding enough enjoyment in your work to make you work hard.

Legend of Zelda:

If you are humble, the good things you do will become great.

You don't become a legend by being selfish and lazy. You have to give service to others and work hard.

Music is a wonderful tool that can be used for good.
