Success in finance and investment is a journey of finding your true self

[slapper]

Yes, I do think that gamers and investors have a lot in common in their mindsets and strategies when it comes to both video games and financial markets. Both need undivided attention, perseverance, and a flexible mind. While video games are meant only for entertainment, financial decisions have real-world consequences, which should be kept in mind. One must proceed cautiously and investigate all available options before making any investing selections.

Yet, I believe that the attitude of a winning player can be transferred to the financial markets. In a video game, for instance, it helps to have a plan, some strategy, and some patience. Indeed, the same holds true for financial investments. You need to decide what you want financially, make a strategy to get there and have patience as you wait for your investments to develop.

Investments may be just as addictive as video games, which is something to keep in mind. Like with video games, the thrill of generating a significant investment return may be addicting, but it's crucial to take breaks and make sure you aren't losing perspective.

In sum, I believe it is reasonable to assert that the winning attitude of a gamer may be successfully transferred to the financial markets. Nonetheless, investors should use prudence since their decisions might have real-world effects. Like with video games, it's crucial to strike a healthy balance and avoid being too invested.

In other words, there are limits to things that are not directly beneficial to self growth. Playing games is not a problem when it is done rationally. This particularly is the reason why metaverse is important and will be successful when done right.
Instead if wasting long hours on games that won't yield any returns, with metaverse gaming in place, playing games for 12 to 16 hrs will not feel like a waste of time when you will be able to generate income doing what you loves doing.

Different strokes for different folks, some are passionate about trading and doing deep research to learn more to that effect, others are passionate about playing video games.

Everyone certainly aims to be financially successful, a lot of effort is made starting from actively working to trying to get passive income for example investing, but sometimes to be successful it takes a long process so that many successful people need up to decades, of course this is a good thing because it can pass on wealth to children and grandchildren.

Most have no trouble grinding 12 hours a day on MMORPGs. Spending countless hours customizing their character, leveling up and exploring digital worlds. There are gamers who spend 16 hours a day, working hard, chasing their gaming goals. While they may not think of it as work. Can it be said that tendencies people have to spend inordinate and excessive amounts of time and energy on video games, defines their true self and true work ethic.

The real you is the person who can spend countless hours everyday obsessively leveling and grinding in games.

There is no need to develop a work ethic or drive. We can see by the way people obsessively play games and indulge in other activities that we already have that.

What is it about people that allows them to invest 12 hours a day obsessively chasing goals in games, that have no affect on their futures. Feeling it is a great use of their time. While feeling that spending 12 hours a day on a crypto exchange looking for good investments. Or investing time and energy reading and learning, doing things which might allow a person to be wealthier and more successful, is not a good use of time?

Could it be fair to say that the only difference between successful crypto whales and unsuccessful ones is crypto whales have learned to treat investment and finance like a video game. Where its fun and worthwhile to explore and learn about the digital world of numbers, math and statistics which comprise market based investment and trading?

In which case, could it be fair to say that being successful financially isn't so much about trying to be a different person from who you are.

But rather its about learning more about yourself and learning to have the same fun and enjoyment with finance and investment. That you have with video games. That way it becomes easy to invest 12 hours a day everyday learning to grind and level up in a way which is profitable.

This is a very interesting idea!  

Indeed, a successful person often treats his work as a very interesting game.  Sometimes he plays online, sometimes offline, sometimes he upgrades his character.  This also applies to investments.  

You can imagine yourself as a powerful Lord (Duke), who is expanding his possessions and strives to earn as much money as possible in order to reach a new gaming level.  This Lord can create different accounts on different platforms.  

An account is essentially a virtual identity.  Such virtual personalities can act as assistants to our fantasy Lord.  These advisers, merchants, warriors help him interact with the virtual world, earn digital gold, conquer new territories, increase his authority among other Lords (Barons, Earls, Dukes and Kings).

Creating such virtual subpersonalities will turn investments into an interesting game!

Grinding is different from grinding mate, some 2hours grinding per day brings insane changes to one's life where as some 16 hours grinding per day brings less fortune, I don't joke with my hustle but that doesn't mean I shouldn't live, playing video games help the brain a ton, I have noticed that playing video games brings so much relaxation to my life but I only spent 3 hours play games almost every day.   while you are hustling every day do not forget that death could come knocking at any time, so live.

Sometimes many people just want instant success and don't want the process,
investing is indeed an option that we can choose to make a profit,
what is clear is that we cannot achieve success without a process that is absolutely impossible.

It's because people want to avoid going through the process, so they hope to find a way to help them achieve instant success. But they are wrong because nothing is instant in this world, and they must take time to go through every process. Achieving financial success is not easy because we have to use or find the right way to achieve that success. Perhaps, investment can be the solution, but choosing the right investment is also difficult and takes time. So if you are unwilling to go through the process, achieving success is a dream.

Not sometimes but I think that happens most of the times. See the number of those people who fail? And then the number of scammers have also grown a lot because they know that there a lot of preys out there. For a person who came from a rich clan then investing for them is not an option but it was part of their life.

Investment doesn't only be to buy and HodL a crypto but it can also mean they invest on a business or something. Success on the other hand can be define in different terms. There is short and then there is long. It was the long term success are the ones who are hard but no it's not impossible. This is more beneficial so we should also aim for this.

 I always  like to spend little time for my self in a busy day because the best gift you can give to yourself is to invest in yourself. I believe when you have good health there will be good money and when you have good money definitely you gonna have peace of mind. There is no more profitable investment than investing in yourself. It is the best investment you can make; you can never go wrong with it. It is the true way to improve yourself to be the best version of you and lets you be able to best serve those around you

Success in finance and investments is more than just about money making. It's a journey of self discovery. To achieve financial success, one needs to understand their values, goals, strengths, weaknesses, and risk tolerance. This self awareness helps in making informed investment decisions that align with ones long term objectives. Success in finance and investment requires discipline, patience and willingness to learn. It's a continuous process of education and adaptation to changing market conditions. One needs to be open to new ideas, strategies, and perspectives to stay ahead of the curve. Success in financess and investment is a journey of finding your true self and by finding unique path you can achieve success while staying true to yourself.

It's generally not a bad advice but something is not right still, I am a PC and Console gamer, I spend time playing call of duty a FPS game almost every day, I have friends online in different part of the world but let me get one thing straight,  I don't joke with my future goal, my daily routine is staying up to date in crypto and investment, and at the same time, enjoying and having some fun playing games online.

We are build and disciplined differently, there was a time where things are going out of place for me and I stopped gaming for a whole year, my gaming PC gathered dust and I don't even give attention, I focused so much on making something work out for me, trading courses and more.. In the end it works, but it has another impact on me, I stopped smiling, the people around me noticed this, they said I have changed, a old woman living in same compound told me that whatever I was doing I need to take a break.

Imagine that kind of thing, I lost the sight of my surrounding, so brothers and sisters, too much of everything is bad, a mixture of hard work and fun is better and one won't affect the other, it's a good way of living, also no one knows when you die, you can sleep and fail to wake up the next day.

Work hard and Play hard.

[Obari]

Well I was confused at some points if I was left out of the entire circle because I don't play games and I don't even let people see me spending time on digital world.

I also agree with you at some point when you said that people see other people who invest their times on exchanges and financial  markets as wasting their time while see people who spend more time playing game as the opposite because this is a typical  scenario  in my country where everyone who spends  time online is regarded as an internet fraudster but see the once who rather play games as responsible 🙄
I almost felt you were from my country but I don't think you are but nevertheless one of the reasons these things happen is because of the negative  news  and rumors been spread about cryptocurrency  which has already made alot  of people develop hatred for the digital asset and one way to help comb is act is simply through proper sensitization of the community.

I think that the reason for this is culture. I find many parents are lazy to raise their children. They spend little time with them, leaving the child either in the nursery or in front of a screen playing or watching videos. Many platforms such as YouTube are very interested in children's games and videos. Children find powerful visual stimuli, all of this will become addictive at some point, then spending the day trying to imitate a video, or completing a level in a game or even collecting some imaginary points will stimulate the incentive points inside their brains and thus more enjoyment for them.

[bussybuddy]

IMO, spending too much time on video games or investing can also affect the physical and mental health of players. Therefore, it is necessary to balance time and investment appropriately to achieve success and happiness in life. However, it should be noted that investing and trading in electronic assets, stocks or real estate is risky and requires knowledge and experience to make sound investment decisions and achieve returns high. Investing should not be purely based on emotions and luck, but should stick to investment strategies and risk management.

It is not wrong to spend a lot of time on video games or investing, however, to achieve success and happiness in life, it is necessary to work hard, have knowledge and experience, balance time appropriate time and investment.

[Plaguedeath]

Not entirely correct, there are some people who don't care about finance and investment because they think money isn't the top reason to achieve in this life, they're consider religion or family is more important than money. It's true everything needs money, but it doesn't mean they will not work to feed himself and his family, their' aim are only to earn enough money, not become successful in financial.

[jrrsparkles]

Spending 16 hours a day on grinding their gaming skills can also give someone as successful life too I mean financially if they have the skills of monetize their skills. Cause it's 2023 so eSports is becoming a career too and personally witnessed many youngsters earning huge money via sponsorship and making ad revenue from streaming on platforms like YouTube, Twitch and lot others.

So it's all about our skills of monetize our skills and effort and we can't say everyone who works really hard will be successful financially and to prove that we can find thousands of individuals who do it that way still live an ordinary life.

But rather its about learning more about yourself and learning to have the same fun and enjoyment with finance and investment. That you have with video games. That way it becomes easy to invest 12 hours a day everyday learning to grind and level up in a way which is profitable.

When you take out time, [because it plays an important role in finding yourself] to understand and  explore your abilities, it becomes easy to succeed cause understanding brings about productivity and while games are things one engages on in not just in spare time, but also as a means of income, it all depends on choice.

Yes, the journey to self discovery would often lead one to attain success in finance and investment, because, it is an accumulation of goals that has been fulfilled, and plans that have been executed. This can only be effective once one is able to isolate him/herself, carefully map out how to devote a great number of hours in a day just to realize an idea that would require self-discipline in consistent doze to ensure financial, mental, and personal growth.

Truth be told, if you're a successful businessman it will affect your mentality and how you think, reason and address economical situations, if you're a successful man in whatever you do as an entrepreneur, it will show in ever areas of your life  definitely, this is one of the things that gives you more confidence in what you're doing, how to advance in it and what is needed to succeed through the process, your idea will be outstanding while other's are struggling to thrive through because you've got the confidence enough through the means which you have developed yourself from.

[kojektea]

I think that's the way to success. because the journey of finding identity there are many paths even each person has a different path. but I'm sure that in finance and investment, everyone wants to get the best. because not everyone is successful in this field but so many people are interested in this field I am sure we are also interested but some of us have not been lucky to get rich here. but it doesn't matter because if you keep trying it is a belief that if we are sure to succeed.

There are limits to activities that do not directly contribute to personal growth or provide tangible benefits. But it still gives us ourselves in terms of relaxation, entertainment, and personal enjoyment. Different people have different passions and interests. Some people play games for fun, but there are people who consider it a job to make money. So the way we use it for such purposes is consistent with the choice we make when we use it. It is important that you feel satisfied with your purpose, but do not overdo it because playing games is not good for your health anyway.
