Exciting News for the Candy Crush Community!

Hello, amazing Candy Crushers! 👋

I’m beyond thrilled to share something special with you all! As a passionate player of Candy Crush Saga, I’ve always been fascinated by the incredible lessons hidden within the game. Every move, every challenge, and every sweet victory holds deeper wisdom—about persistence, strategy, second chances, and the power of small wins.

This inspiration led me to write a book: "Life Lessons from the Game Candy Crush" 🎊📖. It’s a collection of powerful insights drawn from the game, designed to help people navigate life with greater resilience, joy, and success.

Candy Crush is more than just a game—it’s a journey of patience, adaptability, and smart thinking. And I couldn’t help but bring those lessons to life in a way that others can benefit from beyond the screen.

I’d love for this amazing community to check it out! Feel free to share your own Candy Crush life lessons in the comments. Let’s celebrate the game that has not only entertained millions but also taught us so much about life itself!

Looking forward to your thoughts and hoping this book adds even more sweetness to your journey!

    Great, this header was just what I needed in case my account gets deleted, so my comments and advice here will live on.

    Here are my life lessons learned from playing Candy Crush Saga.

    1. Strategy : King are in full control of the game, so don't be fooled that this game is a game of skill or luck. Candy Crush is not about strategy. King decide every player's progress through the mix of events they add to your game. Real world application: Don't be taken for a fool. Don't believe what you are being told or promised. Don't trust big business: Their sole purpose is to extract money from you.
    2. Persistence : Persistence is pointless. The gameboards are fixed and success or failure is pre determined. Persisting with an effort to pass an impossible level leads to frustration and boredom. Persistence in this game is therefore counter productive and ill advised. Real world application: If what you are doing does not lead to success DON'T try, try and try again. This is futile and won't succeed. If you persistently fail in something: Try something different, something new. Here is a screenshot of cartoon that I read back in the 80s in a self help book and which has been with me ever since:
    1. Second Chances : I used to advise players to start over if they got to the point of pointless frustration. I am not sure I can advise this any more. The first 3000 levels and new fish mechanics have rendered the game so utterly boring and pointless I cannot recommend it to anyone. Real world application: See cartoon above: Try something new. Do things differently.

    Life lessons learned from years of playing Candy Crush:

    The game is constantly being changed. Nothing is constant, nothing can be relied upon to still be there next week, next month or even tomorrow. This is also true for the real world:

    Seize the Day! For you never know what tomorrow brings.

    Spend time with your family and friends. Don't get caught up in an addiction that is pointless crushing of candies when you could be spending the time with real people. Even for those who don't have any friends or family the real world offers so many worthwhile pleasures: Go outside and look at the natural world, there is real life everywhere, even in cities. Trees, bees, birds.

    On a personal note:

    My time has not been wasted because I have met many real people and made real friends through this community. Though the game itself has been an ongoing disappointment, this community has taught me so many life lessons and brought much purpose and fun to my life.

    One life lesson I have learnt @preciousmichael is never to click on pdf posted by people I do not know.

    If you want people to read your book the safest thing for everyone would be for you to paste a copy of a page or two in here
