Apr 16 2012: you still have to go out and run or ride a bike or do something though... try it man, you'll enjoy it =) getting on a skateboard and falling and hurting and sweatting, getting tired, getting really hungry and satisfying that will feel great - keep playing man but still do something else
- i'm not saying you should destroy yourself though, don't go on steep hills wihtout a helmet - watch out for cars - have fun
Apr 16 2012: his friends are playing the same game - he can't play with his friends haha he has to make new ones perhaps? or maybe he just needs to keep playing until he figures it out by himself
Apr 16 2012: I was a terrible student all through middle school and high school, not strictly related to gaming - i was a gaming adict for some time and enjoyed a lot and it led me into getting interested in programing which i think developed to some degree better logical thinking or something like that so I could say that was something good i got out of gaming, i spent a lot of time on it, but then again... when i stoped gaming (had to stop it completely cuz i get carried away) i was still doing terrible at school, being worse than a mediocre student and that was mainly because what we were being thaught was rubish - i liked chemistry and physics becuase teachers HAD to know what they were talking about but all the other subjects teachers would be highly unprepared which discourages any student with a honestly curious mind. I'm not saying this is always the case it's just what I felt happened to me - anyways I pulled through without great effort, just being lazy the whole time and studying for exams so it was something like be a slacker for 3 months and put some effort into it for 2 weeks or so, that worked for me kind of
as while i was into gaming a lot, i would stay up late some days until morning but still without playing, once i stoped, that continued i guess some people just like to live at night more than they do in the day
Apr 16 2012: I would react with acquiesce... I mean, it'd be my fault after all. I do sometimes get something out of TED for my job (research assistant) but its rarely the ca
Apr 2 2012: you are right, schools don't teach you how to manage money... however usually if you talk to your teachers in middle school or highschool about your future plans (what you want to do or be) they will usually tell students who want to develop in arts not to pursue it, or any profession that to them doesn't sound "money making"
families talking about money at dinner - well i think they do, specially when in debt, which i think is most of the families and they usually discourage anything that they don't consider "productive" or whatever... they don't teach children about money, usually they teach children that they can do "whatever they want" but as soon as they turn teens and still believe it, they talk to them about money and that they should pursue a secure financial situation rather than risk everything towards something that could/might fail. (this is just a good piece of advice??? maybe yeah and i was misinterpreting it)
now
"The word SUCCESS doesn't necessarily have to be connected with MAKING MONEY.
The relationship between you and your closest friends can also be a success.
when you reach your highest peak can also be a success.
when you meet your needs (emotional, spiritual, physical) can also be a success."
I totally agree with you, but at least i think that this is the individual view of success not the collective one.
Anyways,,, I chose my words poorly, maybe I still am, but between the lines can you see what I'm trying to say? yes, they teach you to get a job and work and retire and die... this is what I think the problem is - we should do lots of different things with our lives (I know... WE CAN, it's ultimately up to us, but it'd be cool if we could stop damaging minds)
Mar 26 2012: I don't really think this is a role art institutions should have (what I mean is I don't think it is their responsability) but it would be really cool if they would identify people in their surroundings (children, teenagers, adults) who are doing an art related activity and just invite them to help on a project (a project that would help them develop whatever they were doing that got them spoted, by this I mean their art related activity)
Like I said, I don't see this as a responsability just think It'd be really cool if they did... get their community involved.
