Chess and Life
Every personality is displayed in chess moves. Agressive people are aggressive in nature. Timid careful players is most likely a reflection of their approach to life and situations. Basically playing chess makes me feel it imitates real life. We are being "attacked " every day , by people events.emotions...etc After playing chess I dont think we change our personalities we just continue being ourselves.Fundamentally Chess may teach us that there are "more than one " response to any life situation. Its best to "THINK" about your reaction to an event with all possibilities...then choose the best life response.
"Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
And most times you choose between the two
Wonderin', wonderin' if you have made it"
- Sweet Seasons - Carole King
From a pool of available choices we have shaped our past and reached our current position (be it on the board in a game of chess, or in life). As much as we might wish, we can not go back and change the past. We can only try to correctly assess and evaluate our current position, consider our options to the best of our ability and make the best choices we can find to shape our future.
When we are facing problems and things are looking bad we have a natural tendency to panic, to act out of fear and frustration, which usually worsens the trouble. In life as in chess it is best to keep a clear head, try to keep your cool and stay calm.
That is not to say that you should not have any emotitions or that you should ignore your instincts and feelings. Just that you must not let them overcome you.

Necessary moves first, then the optional ones. First do the things you have to do, then the ones you would like to do but which are not an absolute necessity.

Sometimes you have to make sacrifices to achieve your goal and sometimes even just to stay alive.

If you compare your chess pieces to a team or group of people working together for a shared goal, you will notice, that not all pieces are equal. And neither are all people in a group. This may be an unpopular truth and certainly is not politically correct, but that's the reality of life.
Just like a bishop is of a different nature than a rook or a knight, people are different from each other. Each has his own strength and weaknesses. They should not be denied. They should be acknowledged and understood.
Let every chess piece and every man and woman follow their nature and play out their strength.
A seemingly weaker or worthless piece might prove most valueable in another situation.
Good coordination is important.

The 12 "P"s: Purpose, proper prior planning, passion, patience, persistence and perseverance prevent p*** poor performance!
Counter-Attack is the Best Defence in Chess as well as in Life situations.
We must actively work to keep the other player or person off-balance and create “counterplay” to distract him from his attacking plans.
