Reflection: If I Were A Rich Man

This is the story taken from book of Frank Mihalic on his collection of 1000 stories volume written by unknown writer. This is the story of a student who had given a task by his teacher to write an essay about him being a rich man. 

The teacher asked her students to write an essay, explaining what they would do if they each had a million dollars. Every pupil except Teddy began writing immediately. He just sat in his chair, making faces and twiddling his thumbs. At the end of the class period, the teacher collected the papers and Teddy turned his blank sheet in the with the rest. "What is the meaning of this, Teddy?" asked the teacher. "Is this your essay? All the others have a written two pages or more, while you have done absolutely nothing!" "Well," replied Teddy, "if I had that much money, that's exactly what I'd do  - nothing."

Simple story but coined with such great lesson. A teaching of not falling on the trap of being rich. Many people want to be rich, as they use to live their life with this. Many path leads on this journey, some took the hard ways while other try to jump on easy but indecent ways but either of the two they will end on nothing. Actually it is not the finish line that will make your journey meaningful but how venture your journey. In the end everything is a piece of award that you can put in the wall of your room but what really matters is the lesson you've learned from that journey.

And the trap lies beneath there, people are only thinking for that reward ignoring the lesson they learned to get that even don't have time to be grateful of what they really achieved but of all them has been trapped on their what they called reward such as money, fame, and power.

I know that I'm not on my current status to say this things because I'm not rich but to tell you the truth I experienced the same scenario. This is my story when I'm playing Facebook games, I'm so excited to figure out tough quests as well as taking up challenges. As a professional gamer, I really love to play difficult video games that made me think rationally until the day that I decided to download games cheats and have all in game stats that I ever imagined, unlimited coins, being powerful and later on I dominated the game easily as this is also a meaning of being rich in real life as they say everything will become easy as 1-2-3. At first, it was awesome fun as I found everything so easy, until I realized that I have nothing to do then, I was burn out having no challenge at all and everything seems can't add up in some of my achievement because in reality it is not me who study, learn and be challenged in game, but the cheats I used made it everything for me as simple a click of a button.

Yes, both stories differ but this is my best analogy that I can use in my reflection. In the same words, you can also do and try it with your own experience, just play the game, tough games and then later on just use cheats and play it easily you will feel the difference, the enjoyment of being challenged , the enjoyment of journeying your life and not only by means of claiming your rewards.

Does Facebook Games Really Worth of Your Money?

Social games play great part on the major success of Facebook, thus many game developer started to ride the fame from year 2008 until now. Everyday dozens of flash game is being released on Facebook from popular developer and not well known game creator. Because these games are available to play for free, many consumers love the concept of playing social games, while inviting players, meeting new friends is the primary objective of almost all games. If you have lots of friends, you can easily dominate the game as you can do gift exchange, quest request and other freebies by only visiting your friends or asking them to play the game. In technical this is like give and take mutual relationship, while players can access the game freely, developer use them to promote their game, by attracting them with some in game rewards if they will promote or refer the game they're playing to their friends who are not playing.

Because of these process the game easily get viral and millions of player will play the application. Everything is in order and everyone is satisfied because they don't need to spend money for the sake of entertainment until the days of developer decided to get big revenue from their games- Monetizing. Yes the game is still free but there are in game items that players can buy if they want to dominate the game and since players are born competitively, they are not thinking it twice to spend real money for the sake of game, now the question is, Does Facebook Games Really Worth of Your Money?

Actually I'm a big fan of playing video games, hardcore they said I am thus I can relate this situation to myself and I can easily answer this question. Well I want everyone to get reflection from my answer as this is the purpose why I write this article so you will learn if you are one belong to those people spending money for Facebook games.

Long before, it is worthy to spend cash, but now due to the evolution of gaming in the world of Facebook everything seems made for the benefits of game developer and they are not thinking anymore the sake of their players. Look how EA or Electronic Arts shutdown all their Facebook games? Many players spent money, time and effort for SimCity Social but then they suddenly announce the deletion of game in social network. The reason is simple, they can't see possible way to drive a profit after selling an item for all players that will give them a long run investment, they disregard it for the sake of their personal interest.

Not only against EA games but even popular developer in Facebook also deleted some of their games once it lose the opportunity to make a revenue well the question is what will happened now to their loyal players who spent cash? We can't get refund aside from their word, SORRY.

Yes, it is not worth any from your money while some say even your time, but since I'm a gamer, I'm with you and what you feel is like indulging yourself for the entertainment of this game brings but then I'm not agree spending it with cash, if you really want to dominate Facebook games, find other way, you can either download cheats or just read some guides. You can check www.OurDailyGames.com, one my favorite site where I used to download trainer tool and mobile apps. If you are a gamer you are always finding a way, it is like a maze and life is in the core of it, like how game maker play their part, always think like them too, always think for your personal interest and not let them get the favor from you.
