Stay Calm and Never Rush Things

After playing several dota games, i have more battle lost than won.  Though i won several championships, I know I didn't played the way I imagined myself.  I'm so eager to win that I lost fun to my games.  I have more deaths than kills.  And just think of plan B to defeat the opponent.  I know my plans are effective but end up failing and I didn't know the reason why.  Then, I retired.  I felt I didn't accomplish anything yet but I need to stop playing Dota anymore.

After 3 months of not playing, I went to the computer shop, where my friends play, because I'm gonna wait for 1 hour and 30mins for my girl on her 6-7:30pm class. I was asked to play but I said I'm already noob.  They say it's ok.  So I played.  I had this mind set: "Ok, i'm noob now, i'm just going to have fun and give everything that's still left inside of me."  I played in a very calm way, laughing when my team mates die, saying it's ok when an error occured, saying it's ok when I die.  I gave commands to my team because I find myself still remembering the strategies back then.  It was successful then we won.  After the game, I realized that my game was better than my game before when I was still considered a "PRO".  I realized that the plan was successfully accomplished and it was after the game that I saw who our opponent was.  It was the best players in the shop.  I was happy not because we won.  I was happy because I learned.  No matter how good your plan is, if you rush it, you'll end up failing often.
