What’s up friend, it’s Dre.
Sorry for the inactivity, I had a brain injury.
And part of my recovery is to limit screen time to “reactivate my brain”.
Two ways that I am reactivating my brain are playing chess and poker.
But when I was thinking about it this morning, I realized that there are a lot of principles in these two games that can be applied to life.
These two games also share some principles that apply to life.
Chess teaches you that you must try to think ahead of your opponent, you must take action and use every piece that you have in order to win, you must make sacrifices, and you must never get too comfortable.
Poker teaches you that you can’t let your emotions control your play, you need to choose your battles wisely, you can win even when you are dealt a garbage hand, confidence is key in any situation, and you must take risks in order to win the game.
Both of these games teach you concentration, patience, and to be able to read your competition.
Much like the game of life.
