Chess is not just a game, It’s Life!!
It is acknowledged universally that the moves and tactics of chess teach what life is all about.
An expert at chess knows what to do; when to do; where to do and when to let go; Same is with Life.
Here are the Life Lessons we need to incorporate into our life.
Don’t Wait for Opportunities; Create It
In chess, it is silly to wait for your opponent to make a mistake. You should always strategize and make your opponent dance to your tune. In life too, you should never wait for that perfect moment. Every moment should be utilized as an opportunity to show your skill and let your hard work do the talking.
Look at Bigger Prospect
In chess, you play with a target. Your Sacrifice is not a defeat but a stepping stone to victory. Like in chess you trap to bait the opponent for something deadlier. In Life, f you feel you need to sacrifice something for the better things; Go for it. It’s you and your victory that counts.
Challenges are Necessary
Don’t you think life will be boring? if we aren’t challenged. There may be times when threats and concerns may steal your peace of mind. That’s okay. Diamonds are just a piece of charcoal that handled stress exceptionally well, The same way human mind unleashes a potential that is exceptional. All these things help a person to grow.
Fight your own Battles
Like Chess, in last you have to fight alone. In life, you should never depend on anyone for anything. You yourself should be the reason for your own happiness and sorrow. Remember friends and families will help to some extent but with you need to fight your own battles and survive.
Failures are Important
Truth is often bitter! Unfortunately, most of us don’t want to fail. You can't win every battle. Learning from the mistake is important. Don’t regret failing, regret not learning anything from it. Like Chess. Life has corresponding phases and every phase is important. We need to make the most of each phase and not to lose confidence if some phase or something doesn't turn out to be good.
Next time don't just play the game of chess, learn from it. The things that chess teach us are priceless and incorporate them in life. I really hope more people start playing chess and learn to deal with life, more intelligently.
