「 Greatly Blessed, Highly Favoured, Deeply Loved 1:27 AM 」

Ever seen people who got so hooked up with computer games that they procastinate on doing things they ought to do?

I have read about the reason why but after reading "Nurturing the winner and genius in your child" by Adam Khoo and Gary Lee that sparks of some inspiration to write this entry. This book was loan to be by a colleague at work. Well, actually wanted to just see the illustrations in this book to aid in my comic drawings. However, ended up reading the contents cause it was too interesting. I also found out that although its for parents, I find it applicable even in my life as a student. And also for coaching my students.

But I prefer to talk about the reasons why some people are absorbed in their world of virtual games. In actual fact, most of the people who spend most of their time playing games are in the state of denial. Being in a world of intense competition like Singapore where everything and everyone demands the best out of us, it forces us to feel that we are incompete to achieve certain things. However, being in a virtual world where we can control and manipulate characters in just a stroke of buttons, give us a false sense of control. We are able to control the fate of the characters and eventually getting the outcome of what we wanted by becoming super heros in the game. "This prolonged use of computer games could result in the commitment of their nervous system to responding solely to instant gratification and this explain why parents today are finding it harder to motivate their teens to study".

However, there is a reason why gamers are able to fully concentrate in the game but not in class. The answer lies in simply the utilization of both the left and right brain. By playing the game, it actually enables gamers to use their logic, analysis, language to interact with other gamers and solve mysteries thereby activating their left rain while the colours, movements, emotions activate their right brain.

Therefore, in order to study effectively, one has to make use of both parts of the brain which is elaborated in this book as well as "I am gifted, so are You".
