Unexpected Lessons

This is a really bad habit. I've started playing this flash game in my free time, or to procrastinate. It's a game where it goes on forever and basically you just kill as many helicopters as you can. I know it sounds silly already :P. But as strange as it sounds, I've actually learned quite a bit from my experiences playing a computer game. I've noticed that when I play it safe and try to be conservative and stay alive, I get a consistent amount of kills, but it's usually a medium to low number. I tried playing aggressively and taking some risks, and it resulted in some absurdly high kill totals. Basically it's taught me a concept that's applicable to life. To succeed greatly, calculated risks are absolutely necessary. There's another thing that I've learned. Failure is O.K. When I started out I was getting killed after 2 kills. I didn't let that discourage me, and now I'm putting up gaudy kill totals every time. All of this is kind of strange, revolving around a flash game. You learn things from the most unexpected sources.
