How to master Minesweeper

In today’s world where one doesn't even have time to relax, think, eat, sleep............. its very important to know how can one take their skills in one of the most intricate games the world has ever seen to the levels of perfection. The game, which we are talking about, is none other than Minesweeper, yes to read it correctly.
Start cannot be easier than this when I tell you to get a job in any of the big software firms, which there are many these days. It’s important to find a company, which gives you training for at least 3 months after you join. The training starts, now here we are talking about the technical trainings provided by your organization. This is the place where you can start your Minesweeper training as well. Select one of the machines in the last row in the classroom and here you are. The stage is all set for your training. Start playing Minesweeper. Be sure to look at the teacher once in a while and nod your head as if you understand the words coming out of his mouth (I guess you must have had training for HEAD NODDING at your college itself). The training goes on.….. After 3 months you would be able to complete the beginner level in reasonable time of course with regular practice. There may be other distractions like other games but you need to stick to Minesweeper if you want to achieve some thing.

The training is over and now your work starts. There is one golden rule, which one should never forget is that "Work never ends" but a game of Minesweeper would finish quickly. So do not try to kill the zeal inside yourself to play the lovely game before you work. Days would pass by work and Minesweeper go hand in hand. Many times it helps to start your day with a game of Minesweeper. There would be distractions which would try to take you away from your goal of becoming a master in your favorite game e.g. other games, your work, your boss, who would suddenly come behind your back and ask you what’s the status of your work. Do not look at him keep looking at the screen and keep clicking while talking to him. This is the ultimate test of your concentration.

After 7 months in your job when you see that the distractions are increasing. More and More work is coming and your boss' visits to your seat increase day by day. That’s the time to resign from your job and find another job. This would give you an amazing one-month to achieve your true objective. Remember while appearing for telephonic interviews for jobs. Sit in front of a machine and start playing just before the interview. Breaking your time again and again would give you immense confidence that if you can do this you can do anything in this world. A day would come when you would be able to complete the expert mode 2 times in one day.

Now as you reach your target and you would be joining a new a company, do not forget to pick a brand new game, which you have never played, as your next target.

I dedicate this blog to this day in my life when i completed the expert mode twice in the same day. Not only this but also breaking you own record for time the second time.
