5 skills that gaming helps you develop

#3 Perseverance

Good games generally demand a 110% focus, so basically the mind is cleared of all external thoughts while the user is into the experience. This can sometimes become stressful. Adopted from the real word – “the daily grind”, ‘grinding’ has been named as the repetitive activity of performing something boring to obtain a resulting reward. This helps us in developing our patience and determination. A gamer trains himself unconsciously, holding onto focus and strong will in order to complete the task at hand. This builds perseverance in the character of the gamer, often helping him in the course of life.

Old hits forced one to suffer through a lot of repetitive gameplay (Claw, Rampage, Roadrash) to build onto an upgrade or pass through to the next level. Repetitive monster fights being another common grind grow stronger (Final Fantasy, Metal Slug, Dragon Warrior).
