A lbert Einstein and David Hilbert each chased the theory of General Relativity on their own paths. Einstein leaned on physical intuition and imaginative thought experiments, whereas Hilbert dove into precise mathematics and sophisticated geometry. In the end, Einstein arrived at the complete theory first, and Hilbert graciously acknowledged it. But this isn't a story about physics—it's about the way we think. Whether you're a banking CEO, a CPA, or running a manufacturing company, you've mastered your field. You grasp all the technical and analytical nuances of your work. So, when pondering an event that impacts your business, you don't pull out textbooks for a deep dive. Instead, you rely on your intuition to guide you. That's because you've absorbed all that knowledge so thoroughly that it's woven into your mindset, emerging naturally as intuition. The same held true for Einstein, Hilbert, and even Henri Poincaré, who also tackled General Relat...
1. Introduction. The (non-psychological) games we play open a window to who we are, what we excel at, and how they may fit with what we do in life. Knowing and understanding their relevance to your life could be most important in understanding your success or lack thereof. It can help parents to understand more clearly the inner workings of their children and even themselves. In this brief essay, we take up how games may well point to preferences in our jobs. In fact, it may show a mismatch between games and profession may help understand dissatisfaction in the workplace. Also included is a limited discussion of non-gamers, a perfectly acceptable decision. You are most likely a gamer of some sort, maybe not digital, sports, cards, or on a board, but a gamer, nonetheless. Many games can form addictions, an aspect not addressed here. The brief essay may serve as a non-technical guide for school counselors, recruiters, and others wanting an indirect ...
