Learn From Chess

We should be careful of our actions in life, just as a person
playing chess thinks carefully before making any move.
Always weigh what you are planning, to see if you might
later regret your move.

In a game of chess, which has no major ramifications in a
person's life whether he wins or loses, each player takes
much time to think of every alternative and weigh its
consequences. All the more so in daily behavior, always
think before speaking or taking action. We have much more
to gain or lose and should at least be as patient as when
playing chess.
