In my secondary school days, when PS 1 was one of the more common consoles, i could remember playing games like suikoden, wild arms, musashi, monster hunter, puzzle fighter, bomberman, etc...
Anyway, i wanted to say that... and as a lot of people have said... :p Life is like a game. To me, the differences are that there are no safe points and we can't replay it. And with games, there would be guidebooks or online websites that will publish the walkthroughs (step by step reviews of how you should complete the games), tips and cheats, which would help us to complete the game in a shorter time, with lesser effort. In life, there's no such things. ... But, if it were up to you to choose, would you prefer to have this kind of guide? Or would you prefer to be independent and just depend on your own strength, knowledge and luck to get yourself through the game? To me, the criteria for choosing between these 2, would depend on whether i want to finish this game fast and with a good track record (e.g. a lot of money, comfortable life, good reputation, good ending, etc...), or, whether i just want to experience everything that comes in my way (e.g. all the failures, happiness, sadness, excitement, anticipation, suspense, etc...). But i believe that some other people would just choose, based on comparison with their peers. A few weeks ago, i remember seeing this article that reported that it was true that generally, people prefer to perform better than their peers than reach a certain target. Hmmm.... anyway, coming back to the topic of guides... ... I wonder what are the big monster bosses in my life. Are they the paper examinations that i sit for? ...Or the bad people i meet? ... Or is it just me when i don't believe in myself?
