Nuggets of wisdom from Candy Crush

Now, I never intended to play this game. But anyway after trying out a level on my father's phone I decided to try it out. So I wasted a good portion of my spare time for a week, got to level 35, saw that I had to ask people o Facebook, and quit. So, lessons learnt:
1. Be prudent. Make your moves wisely after dileberating them.
2. Yet, there are times when you have to be spontaneous (such as during timed sessions). Make life fun. Don't always be a bore and think about work. We exist not only to make money, to do something we don't really like (hopefully not...) or to clock in hours to make the boss/girl/wife happy.
3. Grasp what is important in life (such as how to make multiple combos). Then, see the same pattern (such as in time trials or turn-based rounds) and apply the same method to succeed.
4. In life, there must be other people (such as your friends and family) to compete against, share information with, debate about. Help each other along the way, and you will be helped in return.
5. There may be people who want to reach level 275 ASAP. But what's the point in doing so? Treasure the process of getting there. And unlike in this game, life has no happily-ever-after Disney moment where happiness plateaus. Keep moving, keep learning, keep exploring, and keep doing things you love. With the people whom you love.
