Shigeru Miyamoto gave me an aspiration.

I was introduced to games at the age of 7. My father brought home a peculiar piece of technology and explained to us how it worked. It was my first video game. People in my town called it a Terminator. I only got to discover it's real name when I was about 15, the Nintendo Entertainment System.

It only had two games pre-installed on the system. Those were the only two games we played for about 4 years. Super Mario bros. and Duck hunt. Both games I'll never forget, because they shaped my future.

Super Mario bros. was the most addictive game I'd ever played. It took 60% of all my time as I was a kid. I don't even remember having a social life at the time. The game transformed me into a gamer. I was crazy about games and dived deeper into the depths of the games Library. The more I learned of games, the more I saw my future unfolding. I began reading articles on how they were made and who were the minds behind. And of all the articles I read, the wikipedia article of Shigeru Miyamoto inspired me most.

Creator of the Super Mario series and one of the greatest games of all time - The Legend of Zelda, Shigeru's creations captivated so many gamers out there and practically changed gaming forever, only because of his creativity and determination.

He's given me a purpose in life, only problem is I don't know where to start. How do we get into the gaming industry?

Perhaps I may start with learning Japanese ^_^.
