Noob Kia
Started playing DOTA some time ago.. I was wondering how people were so attracted to the game (that was quite some years ago) and now am beginning to understand why..
It's just like a team sport.. gather 10 people and it's 5v5. Team work is needed to score goals (pawn heads in this instance) The sensation of owning the game is undescribable and gives you great stress relieve when you are able to take it out on creeps and enemy heroes.
Inevitably, the beginning is difficult.. You dunno where the dangers are, you dunno which heroes are more dangerous and you often get ambush and pawned.. Then you'll be feeding the opposition with hoardes of gold and your team mate will curse you and shout "you noob la!!" or "stop feeding la you noob!!"
Alas, some time spent on playing will yield some experience and you know which hero you are more comfortable with and which one is more 'gay' i.e. able to stun the enemy and hit them while they are stuck in the position..
I sort of thought of the time when i started playing soccer in university with my classmates. I love soccer since primary school but was never good at it... But i still loved it... So because some one asked if i wanted to play, i agreed, thinking that it was like my secondary school days when everyone played for fun..
Little did i know that they used to be schoolteam players and you guessed it.. I was the noob kia again.
Kicking grounders when i should clear the ball far.. Missing tackles.. Rounded by strikers.. Ballooning the ball right in front of the goal line..
Fortunately, despite the screamings i got from the team mates, everyone was a friend after the games, they will tell me how to play better, that they dun mind me playing with them still..
Must say that without their patience and teachings.. I honestly wouldn't improve in the game.. will still be a kampong street soccer kid :)
Somehow, this leads me to think of job satisfaction.. I guess there are many things that makes a job satisfying.. My first thought is pay, but even if one is paid 10k and gets scolded at everyday, doesn't get any recognition etc.. is the job still satisfying?
Recently was in a ward with a consultant who gets agitated easily.. even a nurse knocking on the door to the MO room will get him into a fit (if he's doing some teaching). So naturally when there's one or two points about a patient you're not sure about, he'll show some agitation. So even though the ward has like less than 10 patients, and there's little to do, there wasn't satisfaction at the end of the day. You're just living in constant fear...
I'm now in a busier ward, but the consultants are nicer.. They appreciate what you know and what you do, instead of irking at what you don't know and what you didn't do.. So even if you're busy the whole day, ending the day later and having short lunches.. you'll still feel that the day has gone well and feel real satisfied at the end of it..
Can understand why dear's so lack of motivation to work with her BIG BOSS :P
