Seldom in life, and rarely in business, do we get to stand on the stage as the undisputed best at something. In most businesses, it's either win or lose; there is no second place. The pursuit of excellence is a journey filled with hard work, learning, and an immense amount of GRIT!
Competitions, like those at The Games, are merely snapshots in time.
Receiving a silver medal, while it may not symbolize being the absolute best at that moment, is a testament to the dedication, resilience, and perseverance that one has demonstrated throughout the journey. It signifies a near mastery and an acknowledgment of being among the elite in a given field.
The true value lies in the lessons learned, the obstacles overcome, and the personal growth achieved along the way.

Did you ever experience downloading a game after watching the trailer, only to discover that the actual gameplay was different from what was shown in the video? It's an unpleasant feeling, isn't it?
At Wargaming World of Warships Franchise Video Team, 99% of our videos are created using the game engine, so you can see the ships, islands, water, and everything exactly as they appear in the game. Players can even activate a free camera and enjoy the scenery.
Occasionally, we add some motion graphics to our videos to enhance them.
One example of this can be seen in the work of my colleague Nikita Rudenko Here's the Epic Games store trailer! Enjoy! #worldofwarships#video

WE CARRY OUR OWN BAGS. STILL.
A simple rule that keeps me hungry. As you start to come up it’s easy to slip like Rocky did in Rocky III. Sometimes little silly games keep you in check. Don’t get too BIG you can’t carry what you pack. STAY REMINDED.

So many companies do this. It's not just a game industry problem. The numbers never tell the whole story. Invest in your company and the loyal employees. Grow slowly, smartly, and sustainably. Stop looking at numbers and scrapping all your employees to make the numbers look good and then losing all the talent and knowledge you had in the process. The numbers won't always look good, but you can create a steady and solid growth vs volatile chaotic fake success.
