“Life is a Game”, this is how the conversation started… “Try to look at things as if you were in a Game and make beating the enemy your sole target”… For quite sometime he tried to convince me with the idea… I have to fight for triumph… I have to be smart to win… and above all… I have to change my strategy… my way of looking at things… and again, I find myself stuck in the same corner… unable to make the right move and incapable of thinking about it… It is not easy for A Rook to act like the Queen and to move flexibly in all direction bypassing all rules and conquering all enemies… Each of us is a chess character moving according to his pre-defined role which is based on his values, experience and willingness to interact with other pieces… Black and white are the only colors of the Squares… and it is up to you to decide on which square you should exist and which square you should be heading by your next move… A wrong move at any time can cost you a lot… maybe your life and maybe the life of others… You have to plan your moves, sacrifice some pawns for a greater cause and you must learn how to maneuver and how to jump to succeed… Unfortunately, jumping and moving in diagonals are still not in my dictionary! And my only way out is… out of The Board.
