Today was a completely different day for me because I decided to play the popular game Steem Pong on Steem-Retrogames and when I first started playing I thought I would play pretty well and score well but suddenly due to some problem I was kicked out of the game and at first it was quite annoying because I was playing attentively and also increasing points but since it was my first experience I thought maybe I did something wrong or maybe there was a problem with the internet. https://youtu.be/cCoaogyvvs8?si=BhKsrKqFsxwhPd7X And after leaving the game, there was a kind of restlessness inside me and I thought that I would try again and this time I would not make any mistakes and when I restarted the game for the second time, I decided to play calmly this time but the pressure of the first failure remained in my mind and after the game started I was playing well for some time and the points were increasing but it felt like I was in a hurry and as a result my attention was not on the whole game and every time I missed the ball I was reminded of the first failure. ![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmds28WhMU1hKvGVSUH8ygynGwCNTfhvSDLAU3PX6ZTLsy/1758728969431.jpg) And in the end I managed to collect 919 points and although it is not a bad score per se it still felt lower than I expected I knew I had the ability to play better but the first time experience affected my mind and in a sense it became a learning experience for me and I realized that it is very important to stay focused and overcome stress in playing games and when I saw the results on the screen I felt bad on one hand that I could not give my best and on the other hand I felt good because even after failing the first time I did not give up and I tried again and learned something. ![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVHAcgBT3D3wGupDcbS9tVQ5YBzwJv5AeWFeTKLZRCsG4/1758728969461.jpg) From today I learned a big lesson and be it in games or in real life failures will come but what we do after failure is what matters and if we give up we will not learn anything but if we try again every time we will be better than before and in the coming days I will play Steem Pong again and this time I will try to be more focused I know I will do better than before because now I understand where I went wrong the game is not just for entertainment it has taught me patience focus and the ability to accept failure. ![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXrhzfRfkpRwedWvJ8LqVEjxNyLrVFDPrtrP7sN8QArmM/1758728969501.jpg) And for those of you who haven't played this game, I would say try it once and it will not only be fun but it will also help you focus and if you don't play well the first time, don't get upset. Try it a second time, a third time and every time you will learn something and one day you will see that you are breaking your own record and today's 919 points may not be the best result for me but it is a part of my journey and I see it as a small step that will take me to the next level and even after the game ended I felt like I wanted to try again and that is the real beauty of the game and it motivates you to try again and again. ***Thank you all for reading my post.*** @baizid123
