The fishbowl I lived in was filled with progressive and chill friends who all affirmed that I was right. My entire life has ignored the real brutality of the greater world. And that was to overcome my fears and to allow myself to succeed and excel-and attain that position of power and wealth I enjoy-in the real world. As a life-lover, I do not like this approach. Then you will have nothing to fear, because nothing really matters too much. One is to treat life as a game that is, not take it too seriously. I think there are two ways to combat this problem. And in the real world, it is hard to start over again from scratch. You cannot just rage quit or turn off the computer. Because in the real world, failing has real consequences. But when it came to the real world, I hesitated because I was afraid of failure. I could take all the risks I wanted to, and I did not fear failure. But the biggest reason is that the world of video games is ideal and unreal. There are many reasons of course–my age and background being obvious barriers.

In retrospect, I asked myself why I am not this ambitious or competitive in real life.

I was also incredible at working the trading system, and quickly got rich from a process similar to trading in the real world. I became immensely fulfilled from success. I discovered my passion for competition, beating other people and becoming “good”. I learned that I enjoy being in a position of power and wealth. However, video games did allow me to see many facets of my own personality that I had not known (or had purposely denied) before.
