I Am Getting Better: I Got 1218 Playing Steem Pong

in Italy23 hours ago

I am a Nigerian male who loves to learn new things by having a simple and interesting experience and playing Steem Pong has become one of such moments. The game does not appear complex but as you begin to play, you realize that it has to be given attention, time and speed of thought.

The moment I grabbed the game I understood that it was not only the passing of the time. It was entertaining, interesting and challenging enough that it was challenging me to perform better every time I played.

Steem Pong is enjoyable to me because it is simple. It does not have complex regulations or disorienting controls. You play and just react and just improve. There is, in that simple, however, a profound problem. Each step counts and each error brings a lesson.

The more I played the more I became alert and caretaker. With each rally the excitement increased and I became so engulfed in the game. It was not a mere entertainment, but a challenge of my attention and discipline.
An incident which I found to be very interesting was when I scored 1218. I received 1218 in Steem Pong which made me proud of the progress.

I did not achieve that score by chance, it was the result of practice and learning the lessons of the past failures. I had numerous lower scores which discouraged me somewhat before 1218, yet I continued playing. Reaching 1218 was my best indicator that I am improving when I am consistent. To this day, whenever the thought of Steem Pong appears, I remember the score of 1218 and realize that I am really improving.

The other interesting aspect of the game is the Steem token connection. Playing with Steem tokens sent enabled me to make it more meaningful. My time and effort were related to a real digital economy. In my case, as a Nigerian, this was quite interesting since it demonstrated the combination of games, blockchain, and value.

The Steem token is not merely a reward, but it is also a form of participation, commitment, and faith in the platform. After sending the Steem token, I felt a part of the game, not individually as a player, but a member of a bigger community.

There were other lessons about life taught to me by Steem Pong. One major lesson is patience. Rushing normally brings about errors in the game. I have learnt to take my time, watch and take decisions. Another lesson is focus. A lapse in concentration, even half a minute, will deduct points. When I eventually hit the 1218 mark, I realized that it is worth being focused and consistent. The lesson is also applicable in real life either in the workplace, in learning or in personal development.

Another lesson that I learned at the game was that I should not give up easily. It was not always that my score was 1218 and more, and I wanted to quit. However, every failure made me learn something. I changed my plan, held myself together, and had another attempt. It was not only that it felt like winning a game to get to 1218: it was as though it was a question of winning doubt. This experience also taught me that many small failures may lead to success.

I am excited and hopeful as I anticipate playing Steem Pong again. I think I will be able to overcome my 1218 mark and even achieve more. Every new game is a chance to become better, learn, and develop. It is not only the points that drive me, but also the happiness of progress. Steem Pong is much more than a game to me, and a lesson that, when it comes to growth, there is no lack of progress when effort is met with persistence.

To sum up, playing Steem Pong has been an enjoyable, fulfilling and valuable experience to me. The road has been rewarded not only by playing the simple game but also by lessons on life. The fact that I scored 1218 was enough to give me a sense that I am improving and I am also motivated. Steem Pong has provided me with entertainment, education, and motivation, as a Nigerian male who has been learning about new digital worlds. I am looking forward to the following match, the following test and possibly a score higher than 1218.
