You are right, my own journey started of learning and growing started after I had the idea of using Video game life lessons and motivations to inspire people and gamers on RUclips, I am not a successful RUclipsr yet but I believe if I persist long enough I will make some impact.
Great speech! There's NO DOUBT in my mind that I learned adaptability as I played video games growing up, along with problem solving and time management as I tried to get as far as I could in the hour I was given each day!
Keep fighting the good fight, Jon! :-)
Lumpz Clown - thank you sir! Adaptability is a big one, much needed in life.
Outstanding.... Congrats Jon. You nailed it.

I SAID I COULD ACHIEVE GREAT SUCCESS BY PLAYING A GAMES, BUT THERE TOO PUSHING ME TOWARDS BOOK!! I DON'T LIKE BEING TEACH LIKE A KID!!.. YEAH I KNOW.. I WILL TRY TO CONVINCE THEM BY SHOWING THIS AMAZING SPEECH!!. THANK YOU

Love this! Great talk Jon =)
Thank you Ellory!
Great speech i can relate to his experience in my own life as a gamer
Cameron Hill thanks Cameron - how have you seen this in your own life? I love hearing about others' experiences as well!
This nerd is smart.
Yes, smart for finding a way to justify himself about wasting so much time in playing game and then also making a dollar by preaching it in these talks.
You can read more about this idea in the book "Mastering The Game: What Video Games Can Teach Us About Success In Life" available on Amazon & Barns and Noble's website
I recently came across your book and am a little over halfway through! Good stuff so far. Getting some good stuff out of it. Glad I came across your video (and now I see you have a channel as well!)
Video Games can help develop three core needs: Relatedness, Competence and Autonomy.
Although it's very sad how some people think otherwise and so negatively about video games such as the media, politicians, lawmakers, religious groups and not to forget all the Anita Sarkeesians and Zoe Quinns out there.
I think this is more dependent on the type of games that a gamer plays. There is, of course, some overlap in skills obtained between all genres. My favorite genre has always been historically based RTS games since I discovered the genre in late 2003. I would doubt one would get much management skills from a shooter but instead excel more at collaboration and quickly adapting for example.
The one problem I see with this presentation is that I do not think it will change the mindset of employers about gamers. I believe that within the next 10 years, playing video games will still be seen as a negative and gamers will be unfairly discriminated against because of it. I guarantee most people would never admit to playing games as a hobby with their employers because of biases that would arise from it. Therefore, I think more proof/studies are needed to support the claim that "video games can empower real world success" before the idea can be accepted by those that hire.
Same here. We need ways to draw metaphors so they can see how our skills translate with respect to specific games and the strategies required for mastery
Cool, but I don't have time for games :(
INTJourney game is a simulation of the best life. What you experience in a game you experience in the life best lived.
What game is best for success ?
I would venture that it is different for each person - if a game speaks to you and you really enjoy it, look for ways you can apply the same thinking in your life/work/school - just about any game can help you that way!
@@jcharrison12 Wew yeah
classic Ninja Gaiden 3 : Ancient ship of doom
look no further..
🍁🍁🍁
the fact is video games just a simulation you can save and reset, but in real world there are no save and reset which why I quit video games and learn from the reality a real world, not simulation with computer script
You can also use videogames to learn languages, that's how I learned English, doing that you have fun and learn at the same time, that way you can kill two birds with one stone!
So if I was a raid leader I can lead/manage employees?!
If you look at it that way, you might be surprised at the results : )
Better than many might think!
If you apply those skills to life (:
im a gamer since i was 14 now im 18 and i get 150 bulgarian lev a week ask yourself are games a bad thing or are they helping people with their problems i was the one in class that everyone used as a gimmie pig if i wasnt playing games i would be always depressed and maybe i wouldnt even have self respect
or do something likewise productive
Take it with a grain of salt. He just cherry picked a few people without looking into countless others who actually has achieved nothing much from video games. Time and resource are limited and spending time on playing most video games is a waste of both. Exceptions are games like Age of Empires or Assassins Creed where players are encouraged to look into the histories of actual events. I firmly believe video games have great potential to teach but they are no where near that level yet.
What is everything else 😂 no way this stuff was here back then weirdo
