As a video game enthusiast, I have found that video games provide many challenges.  Some challenges tend to be more difficult than others.  Therefore, some challenges may take multiple attempts to complete.  I have determined that video game players must have a sense of persistence.  Persistence is shown when fighting bosses that are extremely powerful: Sephiroth (final fantasy XII), Lavos (Chrono Trigger), and Meta Ridley (Metroid Prime).  Another challenge that requires persistence is video games that take a long time to beat: Final Fantasy, Lost Odyssey, and kingdom hearts.  Video games that take a long time to beat can change from entertaining and fun to dull and arduous in a matter of minutes.  However, the sense of persistence that video gamers acquire can be used outside of the virtual world and can benefit them outside the virtual world.  Players can apply this sense to school, work, or anything else that may require persistence to complete.
