Man of the past decade

            Shigeru Miyamoto is one of the most inspirational masterminds of the world. His cleverness with his work has entertained millions of people worldwide and continues to do so today. Miyamoto's job is to design and program video games and video game systems so that people of all ages from children to senior citizens will enthusiastically purchase and love the games forever. Miyamoto succeeded in doing so which made Nintendo the biggest video game and video game console producing company in Japan and America.
             Ever since Miyamoto witnessed somebody controlling what happens on a screen, which is unique about video games, he wanted to create and play video games himself. His friends and family told him that there was no future or money in that career, but he did not let that stop him. He auditioned for a job at Nintendo in the early nineteen eighties and Nintendo would not hire him unless he could prove he was worthy. It took him almost three years to design an arcade game called "Donkey Kong". In the middle of making it, people told him it would never sell or work, nonetheless, the game sold rather well earning Miyamoto's acceptance into Nintendo. His perseverance never ceased to enlighten me that anything is possible.
             Highly admired, Miyamoto is an incredible person who thinks outside the box very creatively when designing his games. Ever since he created the "Super Mario Brothers" game in nineteen eighty five, he brought the world out of its video game depression at the time and became president of his corporation and popular with the world in terms of video games. His consistent stick-to-itiveness has helped him remain powerful for more than 20 years now and he simply cannot be stopped.
             His major contributions which almost everybody is familiar with include the Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Gamecube, Mario, and many other super heroes and video game systems which have been purchased in the billions.
