#11 No. It's not just like reading a book. Even fiction. You get a lot of transference out of reading such as increased vocabulary and increased writing ability.

Sarilla, I disagree. Playing a video game is great for strengthening eye-hand coordination, dexterity, and limbering tendons/joints that are either pre-arthritic or arthritic. In addition to the physical attributes, playing games also increases stimulation to our brains in strategies, spacial awareness and multi-tasking exercises. While reading a book broadens our intellect to a degree (depending on the material) it's not utilizing nearly as many cerebral and physiological functions as an active gaming session. Even moreso if it's an exercise game found in a lot of Wii selections.
“Disappointing your parents or friends by your life decisions. Usually, they come around in time when they see what you chose is what makes you happy and that is what they really wanted in the end anyway. It can be an uncomfortable wait until that time comes, but it is shorter and feels better than a lifetime of regret.”
