Lessons from Angry Birds

Angry Birds actually gives pretty good lessons and insights on life. Here are some I thought of:

1) Don't give up

Just can't kill off the last pig? Just can't get enough points to get 3 stars? Don't give up. It is definitely possible. While you may try different approaches, the most important fact is to keep trying and not give up. 

2) Don't stick to the same method time and time again

There are many ways to clear a stage. Don't rely on the same formula and expect it to work every time! Explore and experiment. For example, firing the boomerang bird in the opposite direction (towards the left) has actually helped me a couple of times.

3) Everyone is good at something (usually)

This is more for managers managing a team. Each bird is good at something specifically - the tiny blue birds smash through glass as if they were paper, the yellow birds have the longest range and are good for aiming, the black birds are great for shattering stone and explosions, the huge red birds for their weight, the white birds for their vertical egg bombs and subsequent parabolic flight, etc.

Though I say that everyone is good at something, I can't imagine what the normal red bird is good at... In work, most teams have someone who doesn't stand out at all, but hey, it's better than not having the bird there at all...
