This was an excellent and inspirational post, Joseph, and I enjoyed how you decomposed your experience during the Steem Retro Run - The 573 Challenge. Your description of how the Pong game works made me feel like I was doing it directly with you and avoiding the obstacles and chasing the coins. A score of 573 may be easy to say, but as anyone who has ever played a game like this type of reflex-based one will understand, it requires a lot of focus, timing, and determination to accomplish the score - that is truly impressive! 👏

The most I like about your post is the attitude. You did not see 573 as a defeat, but as an individual performance indicator. The lesson of the attitude of competing with yourself rather than the rest is an effective growth lesson. It teaches me that progress does not necessarily mean the big suspension wins - it can be the continuous improvement and the fun of it.

The lesson of this post is beautiful to learn that life, just like the Pon9 game, is about avoiding the obstacles, learning on each round, and being happy about the small wins. I am actually motivated by your desire to do better and surpass what you did the first time. Continue, Joseph - 573 is only the start! 🌟💪.
