On top of that, the author finds many characteristics are commonly shared by games and life and demonstrate close ties between them; for example a Rubik’s cube game requires the player to bring the cubes with same color to each of the six faces of the cube to claim the game is completed, and the tricks behind the game are very much the same as those for real life - treating and interacting with others properly, nearly “all around”, by paying concern in a harmonious and thorough fashion, before you earn acceptance or even admiration from others. Hence, the author believes “Life Resembling Games and Games Mirroring Life” and the tricks and gist behind this is to be best expressed with a work to create.
