It’s been a month since I joined rotork. As you know, this is my first job and I’m trained of skills for an inside sales job. Especially weekend, I get stressed worrying that I won’t be able to adapt well because I have not worked in this field and stressed from people who is negative to me due to lack of skills. So I feel timid myself. But there are times when I play the Zelda where I die from certain monster and try again while I think I will break this. I think it’s helpful to have this experience when I feel trouble or timid while I work.

It’s completely normal to feel overwhelmed or stressed, especially when you’re new to a job and in a field that you’ve not worked in before. Just like in the game, however, each challenge is an opportunity to learn and grow.
Playing games like Zelda, where you repeatedly face challenges and find ways to overcome them, can indeed provide valuable lessons that you can apply to your work situation. Here are a few ways you can do that:
- Embrace the Learning Process: Remember that learning a new skill or job takes time. You will make mistakes and face difficulties, but these are all part of the learning process. Each challenge you overcome in Zelda makes you better equipped to face the next one, and it’s the same with work.
- Persistence: Just as you don’t give up when facing a tough monster in Zelda but keep trying different strategies until you succeed, the same principle applies to work. If you face a problem or a difficult task, don’t give up. Try different approaches and keep trying until you find a solution.
- Positive Attitude: Just like in the game, your mindset is crucial. If you go into a battle believing you can win, you’ll play differently than if you’re sure you’ll lose. Even when things get tough at work, try to maintain a positive attitude. Believe in your ability to learn, adapt, and succeed.
- Self-Care: Playing games can also be a form of stress relief, a time when you can forget about work worries and immerse yourself in a different world. Make sure to take time for yourself and do things you enjoy to keep stress levels in check.
- Ask for Help: In Zelda, sometimes you need to consult a guide or ask other players for tips. At work, don’t hesitate to ask for help or clarification if you need it. Your colleagues and managers are there to support you.
Remember, it’s normal to feel stressed and anxious when starting a new job. But with time, patience, and persistence, you’ll find that you’ll gain the skills and confidence you need to succeed. Just like in Zelda, every challenge you overcome makes you stronger and better equipped for the next one.
