CAREER-CHANGING

LESSONS

LEARNED WHILE PLAYING
1. AIM HIGH, BUT NOT TOO
HIGH ALL THE TIME
Ambition is great
and should always
motivate you. But your
moves should be smart
and planned, or else you
just might bump your
head and need to
restart all over again.
2. LEARN WHEN TO LET GO
Don't be afraid of
taking risks. Sure,
some obstacles will
seem too difficult - but
playing it safe won't
help you all the time.
Just dive in.
3. FAIL, FAIL, FAIL AGAIN
If careers had high
scores, you wouldn't get
yours on the first,
second or third time. Be
cool and keep your
calm, you'll get there.
Everyone feels stuck at
some point, but it's the
continued effort that
will get you further.
4. YOU WILL NOT ALWAYS BE
AT YOUR BEST. THAT’S OK.
Life is full of ups and
downs, and guess what,
so will your career be.
Don't worry if you're
struggling right after
you've done something
good. You will only put
more pressure on
yourself - making
things even harder.
5. DON'T COMPARE YOURSELF
TO OTHERS (TOO MUCH)
It's great to know your
college buddy seems to be
making a lot of money
overnight with that app he
created. But high scores
don't tell the whole story.
While comparing yourself to
your friends' best
achievements you are not
seeing the many times
they've scored nothing.
6. YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO
LIKE IT
A healthy relationship
with work is essential to
a healthy life. If you're
not enjoying what you do
anymore, try to get
some rest. And if you still
don't enjoy it you should
try something different.
7. THERE's MORE TO LIFE
Sure, it might seem like this
new job is the most
important/awesome you've
ever had. But if you let work
be the only thing you do, you
will be missing out on a lot of
cool stuff. Don't build your
life around one thing - build
many things around your life.
