Ten Sparkling Gems of Wisdom

As much as I love hours of playing Bejeweled 2, it is a distraction as I could be doing other things such as writing a new post for my blog or a chapter in my upcoming book. I realized if I could just pause for a minute and really just think about the simple things in life; I could extract powerful lessons for myself. I want to share with you some life lessons that I learned from playing this game, in which you can apply towards reaching your career dreams.


• You don’t have to wait until someone else tell you to "GO" in order to make a move
• Notice both good and bad patterns. Make the necessary moves and corrections
• Stand still and waste time
• Its okay to ask for help (hint)
• Surrounding yourself with dynamic people are like power gems which help you accomplish your goals
• Use your gifts (Hyperbole) wisely
• Never try to get into a place where you can not move
• You may not always get praise for a job well done (good, excellent, incredible!)
• There will always be competition, if not, then your only competition should be your past success
• Finally yet importantly, as in life, you only score for the power gem opportunities you take not the one you could have.


Aspire. Create. Develop.
