3 Career Lessons To Learn From Squid Game

Squid Game narrates the story of people vying for a big sum of money by participating in a game. However, it is no ordinary game – as it requires them to risk their very own lives. Squid Game is more than a compelling survival game series that entertains. Not only does it focus on the game itself, but it also depicts different life/career lessons that can be practiced and applied in the real world.

Smart work can be better than hard work

In the game where you are supposed to cut the sugar candy (Honeycomb/Ppopgi) into a particular shape, Gi Hun managed to work smart and inspired others to do the same stuff. This is by far the best example of smart work that helped himself and fellow participants.

Be a team player

When many minds come together in unison, the synergy will result is mostly great. In the game of tug of war, the team which seemed like a weak one was not weak. They’d strategized various plans from different team members, and this was the reason they survived. Remember that it was also the first smart, strong team that worked together that survived.

Nurture every connection you make

 

Filtering people in your life is part of being an adult. You don’t need to build a wide connection. A small functioning one will work. Sae-byeok and Ji-young met only in the game. Both have disheartening pasts, but they learn to trust each other. The two left a lesson on valuing relationships. If we can’t find time to cultivate our relationships, then it’s useless.
