Sometimes, when I start writing I
find it very difficult to frame my thoughts into words… But here I am again
trying to jot down what is there in my mind.. :-)
Today, while sipping my morning coffee
and thinking about life… this thought clicked my mind, how similar our lives
are to the game we used to play “Contra”…
I started exploring the thought and
realized yes, Indeed it is!
The only difference is…. in a game we
get warnings like alert, difficulty level, new weapon, bonus points, gifts,
accidents.. Here in life we face it first then we realize what it was :P
Coming to the comparison part, I feel
I have grown up from Tetris to Contra… there I just compared life and troubles…
Here, I have a lot more… :-)
So, here it starts, when we start the
game… we adjust with the surroundings just like life… In every new scenario we
adjust first school then college, office… We develop a comfort level with the
weapons we are gifted with and realize their strengths… In game our weapons are
the gun, bombs, some bonus weapons, our ability to run fast and jump high...
Whereas, in life our weapons are our mind, creativity, persistence, patience,
sharpness of mind and not to forget our thought process… In both life & contra we win if we feel we can… Positive attitude & will decides our
destiny.
Now, when we are well versed with the
weapons we have, we feel more confident to use them in any scenario, that is
what we call experience in real life and new level in game. We might win the
new level or we might realize we need to sharpen us and develop better grip
over our strengths to pass through it…
Coming on to the similarities in
brief as m getting late for office-
- In both, game & life we keep on running after earning…. Points & Money!
- In both, we are still running even after knowing the end is same for everyone…
- We don’t realize while playing/living that what matters is to enjoy the game/Life rather than just earning numbers/Money and taking stress
- Not always but many times we run our of energy/health in the race of earning more points and we don’t realize we waste whatever we earned when it comes to energy/health
Well, I guess I’ll come up with more
similarities on this on sometime when I'll have no office day…
But, one difference which I would
love to mention is Life is any day better than a Contra game, In the game you
get 3 chances after which your game is over… Here in life, you get a new chance
every day to relive and change things… you cant undo many things but that’s
what life is…. Look forward and change it for the better…
Change things which you don’t like,
alter yourself if you think you need to…. Realize, its not over yet.. You have
thousand things…. Miracles do happen….
And in the end, I would like to say-
Life is like a Disney
movie...
Miracles do Happen, Hard work pays even if its delayed, good people do exist, Luck favors the brave, there is always a villain... a king.. a prince and a princess and No one can ever change your destiny if you are real...
Appreciate Life and have Faith.. Get up and keep moving… you may not get these many chances in one game of contra, but you have many in real life… :-)
Now, I’ll also get up
and get ready for my office….
Love you God.. Muaah
:-)
Note- I’ll proof read
it in evening! Till the time avoid the typos :P
