Things I’ve Learned From Clash of Clans

  • Be patient. Everything good takes time.
  • Ask for help. It’s the best way to have success as you are learning.
  • Help others. It pays back those who helped you and you get credit for it too.
  • Choose your battles wisely.
  • Protect what is most important.
  • You can’t do everything at once. Decide what you need most and focus on that.
  • Every member of your team has different strengths.
  • Just because something is available doesn’t mean you need to use it.
  • There comes a point when it’s best to rearrange everything to meet your goals.
  • Don’t worry about things to come. You’ll learn things as you need them.
  • Resources can be used to acquire new items or develop current ones. Stay balanced.
  • Keeping things tidy brings a reward.
  • You need a team with similar goals to advance as far as you can go.
