人为什么喜欢玩游戏

Next, let's chat about why everyone likes playing games.

This is a very interesting topic.

Everyone likes playing games.

Men like it, women like it.

Adults like it, children also like it.

Today we will tell a small story.

There is a person in the story.

His name is Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming is a student.

He is twelve years old this year.

He goes to school in Beijing.

Xiao Ming has many classmates.

He also has many friends.

Every day, Xiao Ming has to go to school.

He studies at school.

He studies Chinese.

He learns to write characters.

The teacher speaks at the front.

Xiao Ming listens at the back.

The teacher says: "Read this book."

Xiao Ming then reads this book.

The teacher says: "Write this character."

Xiao Ming then writes this character.

Xiao Ming cannot say "no".

He must do it.

This is his job.

At four in the afternoon, Xiao Ming goes home.

He finished his homework.

Now is his time.

What does he want to do?

He wants to play games.

He takes out a ball.

This is a soccer ball.

The ball is white.

The ball is round.

Xiao Ming goes to the grass outside.

The grass is green.

The weather is very good.

Not cold and not hot.

Xiao Ming is very happy.

How does he want to play?

He wants to kick the ball into the goal ahead.

That goal is not big.

That goal is very far.

This is a game.

Games have rules.

What are rules?

Rules mean you do it, and I do it too.

Everyone is the same.

In this game, the rule is you cannot use hands.

Xiao Ming cannot use hands to hold the ball.

He can only kick with his feet.

This is very difficult.

Feet are not as flexible as hands.

The ball runs around chaotically.

The ball is not obedient.

Xiao Ming kicked it once.

The ball ran away.

The ball did not go into the goal.

Is Xiao Ming unhappy?

No, he is very happy.

He runs over.

He kicks it once more.

This time the ball went in.

Xiao Ming shouts loudly.

He is so happy.

Why is he so happy?

Because this is hard.

If you use hands to take the ball and put it into the goal.

This is too easy.

Things that are too easy are not fun.

Hard things are actually fun.

In games, we like challenges.

We like doing difficult things.

There is another reason.

At school, the teacher tells Xiao Ming what to do.

In games, Xiao Ming chooses for himself.

If he wants to play soccer, he plays soccer.

If he wants to run, he runs.

He is his own master.

He can make decisions.

This feeling is very good.

We all like this feeling.

This is called "freedom".

Games make us feel free.

Let's look at things in games again.

There are scores in games.

Xiao Ming kicks a ball in.

He gets one point.

He kicks another ball in.

He gets two points.

Scores are very clear.

One is one.

Two is two.

You can see your score.

You know if you did well or not.

High score means good.

Low score means bad.

This is very simple.

But in life, it is not simple.

There are no scores in life.

Are you a good person?

Are you a bad person?

Is your job good?

We don't know.

Sometimes, we are very confused.

We don't know what is ahead.

We don't know if we are doing it right.

But in games, you know.

You can see the goal.

The goal is that door.

You can see the score.

The score is that number.

So we like games.

Games make us feel clear.

Games make us feel at ease.

Now, let's think about life.

Is life a game?

Sometimes, life is like a game.

At school, students have exams.

Exams have scores.

One hundred points is winning.

Fifty points is losing.

In companies, adults have jobs.

Jobs provide money.

Money is also a score.

Having lots of money is winning.

Having little money is losing.

Many people look at the score.

Many people look at money.

We think that having lots of money is good.

Having a high score is good.

This is just like playing a game.

But, there is a problem with this.

There is a big problem with this.

Mr. Ruan wrote a book.

He says in the book that games are games, and life is life.

In games, the score is the most important.

You play soccer for the score.

But in life, the score is not the most important.

Money is not the most important.

If you only look at money, you will be unhappy.

You will forget other things.

You will forget your friends.

You will forget your family.

You will forget love.

When Xiao Ming plays soccer, he is very happy.

Not because of the score.

It is because he is running.

It is because he is laughing.

It is because he is together with friends.

If Xiao Ming only looks at the score.

He will be very tired.

He will be unhappy.

If the ball doesn't go in, he will be angry.

This would not be fun anymore.

So, we must be careful.

Do not turn life into a game.

Do not only look at those numbers.

Numbers are cold.

People are warm.

We need to see people.

We need to see love.

What does this story tell us?

This story is about "why we play games".

Games are good.

Games let us learn.

Games let us know how to make decisions.

Games let us know how to face difficulties.

But, do not get lost in games.

Do not let scores control you.

Do not let money control you.

You are the person playing the game.

You are not a thing in the game.

We need to be a little smarter.

We need to know what is the most important.

The most important things often do not have scores.

The most important things are in your heart.
