Whenever i updated my blog I kept telling myself “I’m
awesome”. Coz I always am. Tee hee.. At least I think so. But being awesome
doesnot mean I am winning evrything. Sometimes I lost, but even when i did, i
lost with my head held up high. It’s not that it doesn’t hurt. It’s called ‘overcoming’.
You can sense that you are losing the game even though
the game has just started, but sometimes you decided to keep on playing just
for the sake of your opponent, so that they can perhaps have the time of their
lives. But it’s hard to play along if you know you are losing it anyway. So
sooner or later, you decided to quit and it hurts both the players.
Continue playing or quit it right away seems like the
only options. But there’s always another one. The third option is to continue
playing to win. Hoping for the wrong move of your opponent. ‘Hope’ is the only thing stronger than ‘Desperation’.
Even a single mistake can effect the whole game. But you have to play it more
carefully, and observe every single move of your opponent.
So, you continue playing hoping for the best, the result
may not be as you hoped for, but it doesnot hurt you because you can tell
yourself that you are not giving up without a fight, you tried your best and it
was not good enough. So what, you can hold your head up high losing. And even
your opponent can hold his/her head up. So, in the game I am playing, i decided
to go for the third option and am damn proud of myself.
And just to be clear, I am talking about the game of Chess
:).
Or Not.
Peace.
