Thought of the Month |
After
Carl Lewis won the gold medal for the long jump in the 1996 Olympic
games, he was asked to what he attributed his longevity, having
competed for almost 20 years. He said, "Remembering that you have both
wins and losses along the way. I don't take either one too seriously."

Lessons
from Angry Birds
by
Richard Fenton & Andrea
Waltz
Okay,
we admit it - we love playing Angry Birds! Sometimes for
hours on end! Yes, we pride ourselves on our focus and
productivity, so coming out of the Angry Birds closet (or nest) is
hard. Now, if you're wondering,
'What's an Angry Bird?' you are a member
of a small and dwindling group of people in the world who have yet to
get drawn in by this clever computer game (designed by Finnish company,
Rovio) in which birds are hurled - via a sling slot, which you control
- for the purposes of killing (apparently) 'evil'
pigs. We know, totally ridiculous... totally
addictive... and a total waste of time. Well, maybe
not a waste of time after all.
Besides being silly fun, if you play enough you'll come to
realize there are some great 'success and
persistence' lessons learned by playing. For
example, when playing Angry Birds:
You rarely win the first time
around... or the second... or the third
You will fail over and over
and over again (sometimes a hundred times or more)
There is some key learning to
be had in every failed attempt
In many cases you will be
absolutely convinced that winning a particular game is
'impossible' only to have an 'ah
ha' moment in which you discover the way
Even when you DO win, you can
go back and play again and see if you can win with an even higher
'star' or 'point total'
The longer you play, the
better you get at future rounds due to the cumulative learning that
takes place from every game, win or lose
Eventually you will find there
is a way to win nearly every game with a single shot!
Oh, yeah. Soemthing else: Angry Birds is the 50th game launched by
Rovio... the previous 49 went virtually nowhere.
Like we said, a Go for No! lesson, for sure.

And if you don't get, ask again! Maybe they misunderstood the
