      Know where You are coming from,
      so You don’t compare ourselves with others.
      Don’t rush in life…
      In Life, overtaking is allowed,
      So if you are already there, it’s good,
      We are also coming.
      Never let peers influence You,
      Be in your lane,
      hustle, pray to God
      and your time will soon come
      Remain Blessed

      One saying that inspires me a lot is that we should try to compete with ourselves. In other words, we should try to be better versions of our former selves.

      One way we can improve ourself is by reading widely, not just in other to pass an examination or gain a certification.

        I agree with you. Just that I don’t know how to play chess but judging from how I see people play it, I am sure it’s a game that can improve memory. Personally, I love games especially strategy games . My favorite is Sodoku

      Lesson in life is that, we have to choose whatever we do, structure out our lives, get ourselves to the top, figure out our life’s purpose, and do it all at the same time. We should always Slow down — do don’t rush into things. Let your life unfold. Wait a bit to see where it takes you and take time to weigh your options.

      Timing is important. The eagle spends time slowly circling the sky and observing its prey. Then at the right time, it swoops down with great speed and snatches the prey.

      In other words, there’s a time for everything. A time to slow down and a time to speed up.

      This principle can also be seen in the area of giving birth, where the medical officer instructs the woman to push only at ‘the right’ time.

      Yes, chess is a game of reasoning. It is different from games if chance like Ludo.

      But come to think of it, games of chance also have a place.

      I want to think that Ludo teaches people how to recognise good luck or make the best of the options they have.

      “The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.” – Lao Tzu

      Your goal may be big, and at times, it may seem impossible and difficult. You will feel like you’re failing and you’re not getting anywhere. But perseverance, belief and conviction in those small steps that you’re taking towards those goals is what you need to be confident about. Consistently follow your life mission, one step at a time, no matter how small the step may be , and before you know it, you are there.
      …….. Always Remember that, CONSISTENCY IS THE KEY TO BREAKTHROUGH..

      Don’t talk to many people about your problems. Many of them are not interested, and they do not have a solution. Telling many people about your difficult situation might erode your confidence and mental well being in the sense that they might start mocking you with your difficult situation.

      Forgiveness benefits two people-the giver and receiver.
