Some would have you believe that video games are evil. But, as Jane Pinckard’s article notes, one can learn a lot of life lessons by playing video games. An example lesson:

2. Always, always be moving. This is most true in multiplayer. Don’t hang around waiting, because even though you have the sniper rifle, they might have the shotgun. You’re just asking to be sneaked up on. This is a great technique to apply to the office. Walking around, everyone sees that you are there, but you always look busy, on your way to doing something else. They can’t pin you down to ask you to do stuff.

The articles also kindly includes images demonstrating important lessons.
