media type="custom" key="3533178" Life is like game of chess because once we make a wrong move, we cannot take back that move or it is called cheating. In our life situations, we wish we can start everything again. What's done is done and what's said is said. The action taken is taken. Time cannot be reversed. We can make a series of bad moves but still remain in the game. But we put ourselves at a disadvantage and find ourselves scrambling to survive. Why make a bad move when we have good one's available to make?

Often when we make bad decisions we bring consequences upon ourselves. We find excuses or throwing the blame on others saying we are victims, saying we are victims of forces beyond our control, too proud to admit mistakes and listen to advice because we are too stubborn to think of others and think too highly of ourselves. We have freedom to choose. We do not, however, have the freedom to change the choices we make. Unless we pass our foolish choices and consequences to God, if you are humble enough to do so, for Him to do the impossible, by turning bad choices to benefit, that's if you're humble enough to believe.

We have complete power in everything we do. But we must always control that power because if we don't, it will take over us, it beyond our limit. Everything we do can come at a cost. No one is perfect but who said trying is a sin? When we die in war or commit death ourselves, it's the end of our life on earth. But it's not, however, the end of our souls life. Our souls have a quest to find the gate of Heaven, to enter it. Our afterlife is like us when were alive. It's like having two lives. That is how much God loves and cares for us. He made us to have another chance, a second life. When we shut ourselves from civilization, we are rejecting ourselves and the support that is behind us. Just like in chess, when the king is checkmated, it's not the end of the world for us, it's for the game.

It's not what you accomplish in life that matters; it's what you overcome. Our lives on this earth do not last forever. The world will come to its end sooner or later. What's important is eternity. It's what is deep inside us that makes us different and unique, not our achievements or accomplishments. Making good decisions in our temporary lives can be a great benefit, but making bad decisions can become a complete down side.True satisfaction cannot be achieved from this world, it can only be from God.

The King in a chess game is like a ruler of one side in a war. The Queen in a chess game is the protector of the King and helps the King make decisions and in a war. The Bishops protect the King with their spiritual power and in a war, the priests help to keep the Kings faith and to believe that he can do it with the power of their God. The Castles protect most areas of their land and in war the Castles try to protect the King from danger. The Pawns are the King's soldiers who do their best to protect their King. Despite how weak they are, the pawns are entrusted with the power to protect their king even if they die a sudden death. They are the brave soldiers who try to protect their land and their King. media type="custom" key="3753671"

media type="custom" key="4053521" The song was really soothing for the body and soul. Many people don't have a voice like that but this person sang the song so well, it was as though there was no music just his voice. This song would be really suitable for people under stress for anything, but especially in chess, this song would really relax anyone under pressure or close to losing. I think the composers created this effect by letting the man sing really soft so that people can relax easily and then his sang really loudly to give the listeners the courage and the right mind to do anything. media type="custom" key="4051969"

media type="custom" key="4053533" __What Motivates a Champion?__ I thing what motivates a champion is winning. When the person wins, it gets really addictive so they feel as though they must win every other round in the competition so that they can become a champion. It's such an addiction, that some players would even cheat. Maybe not in a competition because there are referees but playing in a school, there are you and your opponent. When you win, there is a sensation inside you saying, "You must win the next round." When that sensation is really obsessed with winning every other round. That's when your obsession takes over you in every round.
