Learning life lessons from a computer game!
For some years now I have been addicted to a computer game called Football Manager. It used to be called "Championship Manager" and is a tactical strategy game where you manage a football club and deal with everything from buying and selling players, to arranging tactics for the matches ahead.
Up until recently I was winning everything, the premiership, the cups, European competition and even got appointed as Manager of the Portugese international side lol! But of late, I have managed to get myself sacked from four clubs on the trot after an abysmal series of results!
Now this got me wondering how "successful proven tactics" can suddenly stop working and amount to failure? So for a moment, let's take this computer game into real life....
If you have used a set method for success in your life, and suddenly it stopped working and turned into failure, what would you do to rectify that? Why do you think successful methodology can suddenly become unsuccessful? What changes around you to make things that once worked well, not work now?
Sometimes these computer games can in themselves provide solutions for you in real life, by showing that sometimes drastic or even subtle changes are needed as times, people and events around you evolve.
