WOW: a career booster? 魔兽世界:职场必备良物? Video games have long been thought of as distractions to work and education, rather than aids. But there is a growing school of thought that says game-playing in moderation, and in your free time, can make you more successful in your career. The younger people coming into the workplace who have had experience playing online games are the highest-level performers because they are constantly motivated to seek out the next challenge and grab on to performance metrics. 长期以来，电子游戏都被冠以使人在工作与学习上都心不在焉的恶名，而远非工作学习的助手，但是如今，越来越多的学派认识到，适度游戏能让职业生涯更为成功。在职场里，有过玩网游经历的年轻人往往表现最为出色，因为他们会积极主动地去寻找新的挑战，并努力争取表现卓越。 WHY? 原因何在? --Games can cultivate dispositions that are valuable in a corporate setting. Video games are often a trial-and-error process where players become accustomed to failure, and learn from it. 玩游戏能帮助玩家培养出在企业中十分宝贵的品性。玩电子游戏本身就是一个不断尝试和失败的过程，玩家已经对失败习以为常，并学会了在失败中吸取教训。 --Video games can also present players with unexpected challenges and new situations. Gamers learn to respond to, and even seek out, new challenges in order to progress. They also learn to improvise, and are thus more likely to be able to solve problems creatively when there is no solution to be found in a manual. |
