Accomplishment: Thus far, my little farm has been sustaining me quite nicely. I have a stockpile of loaves of bread, and I made cookies with cocoa beans I gathered in the jungle. Nonetheless, I decided to branch out to raising livestock by rounding up a second cow for Veronica's farm and breeding them. 

Struggle: Capturing that cow was definitely the biggest struggle for tonight! Even with the wheat, it wasn't especially cooperative, and I was terrified the other cow would escape, never to be seen again. To add insult to injury, when I returned a little while later to see how they were doing, one of the cows had someone gotten out of the paddock, but I was eventually able to round him up again. I'm still not quite sure how that happened. 

Observation: When my sister first began playing Minecraft, I would shake my head disapprovingly whenever she would spend hour after hour on the game. Now that I've begun playing it myself, I understand why it was so engrossing! In my homework routine, I've been setting aside an hour per evening to play Minecraft, but invariably, I spend at least the double of that. There are just so many things I want to do, and each accomplishment launches me towards a new goal. 

Question: Why are some of us quickly becoming hooked on Minecraft whereas others are quickly tiring of it?
