The more work you put in, the more you get out. Forward planning helps. Sacrifices sometimes have to be made, as do gambles. You can sometimes miss something and be hit by a bolt from the blue. Staying calm in tense situations helps. As does being level headed. The more you play the wiser you get. The result isnt always want you want it to be. You need to take defeats as well as victories. You have to show respect to your opponents. If you tell a lie on the board it will probably come back and bite you on the arse. Want some more? :-)

We are the "King" the pawns are our decisions and goals of moving forward which cannot be taken a-back when a mistake has been made.The pieces are the sacrifices we will make from the minor to the major sacrifices. Which would lead us to our ultimate goal "Winning" and "Achivieving" glory in our lifes journey.The only difference is "When we win brilliantly:sacrifing the Queen" we get victory over the board".But in life when we make such sacrifices,we get hurt.We are creators of our own destinies as we are creators of our own mediorcies in our games.
