Gaming Edu: What You Give, You Get Back



by Rinie. Monday 23/06/08




If you ever heard the title yup its from a song by Scorpion. I know i know most of us prefer "Rock You Like A Hurricane" but hey the title has its own truth in the meaning.



Some of you might disagree in me saying all the good things that we have done most of it never being paid back. But in order for the community to grow everyone must understand the importance of giving something back to the community. After all the community have help us a lot when we 1st started as gamers. If there is no gaming community, gamers would not exist as well.



One of the secret why i manage to be on top until now is because of my 2 little project, The FIFA Blog and W|nDs Youth Academy. Try guess what do i get in return of me sharing my knowledge in FIFA to the public? Yup i get new knowledge in return because everyday i have to think on what to write in the blog and have to come out with new tips and tricks to share as well. So this will force me to think of new skills and tactics and make me a better player. Plus helping out people does make me feel good as well. It is part of my duty, my responsibility to help everyone and the community as well. Because even how good i am, i wont be here in the 1st place if the community itself never exist.



Now now if you are afraid that one day you will run out of your brain cells, there is a research made by some scientist that shows there are millions to billions brain cells in our brain. Averagely we use up to hundreds of brain cells per day. Some well dont even use 1 cell at all.



Let say if you use up to 100 brain cells a day:


1 year= 365 day


100 cells x 365 days = 36500 brain cells per year


Let say you live until 100 years:


36500 x 100 = that is 3.7million cells


So even if you live until 100 years, there are a slight chance you become brain dead. I repeat, slight chance.

Unless if you are Homer of course.. lol



So everyone start realizing your responsibility. Even if you dont know how to share your knowledge, you can always do other things such as organizing a league, tournament, charity event, road tour, seminars and clinics, skills presentation, media(thats where we come in ^^) and much much more. As i always said, gamers in Malaysia must be creative in finding ways on how to help the gaming community to be bigger and better. So start giving back to our little community.



If you still dont believe the meaning in the title, try punch someone on the face and see if you get a punch back at your face.. or maybe more. If you are afraid no one will acknowledge you, dont worry, we will ^^
