The secret of success in life: play by your own rules!

Why are celebrity and brand success stories so popular? People want to know a step-by-step action plan and follow it to achieve the same result. But things don’t work that way. There is no single plan, tool or action that can provide a 100% guarantee of success.

Being in the same conditions, different people get different results, because everyone has their own skills, character traits, life experience, strengths and weaknesses. Everyone perceives the same situation in their own way. Some see an opportunity to challenge circumstances, others see yet another problem.

Therefore, you should not rely on other people’s success stories, and don’t try to emulate their success. Live your life and look for your own unique path.

A smart move

A good example is the game of chess. You can teach a person several combinations, and he/she will automatically apply them. But will that person be satisfied with the result?

However, a person can be taught how to think one move ahead, analyze the situation, calculate risks and win. Chess strategy is a tool that works in the capable hands.

The number of possible combinations of chess pieces on the board is almost infinite: 10 to the 120th power. Therefore, it is extremely important to be an intelligent and skillful player who is not blindly copying other people’s moves. Choose the one and only goal from an endless number of goals and look for ways to achieve it.

Six chess rules that will be useful in any activity

1. Consider all options.

In any situation, several scenarios for the development of events are possible. Try to anticipate all the most likely ones.

2. Learn to wait patiently.

Don’t be impulsive, reckless. Think carefully about your moves and take action at the most appropriate moment.

3. Become the outside observer.

Chess players try walking a mile in the opponent’s shoes in order to understand how the opponent thinks and why he/she makes a certain move. Learn to view the problem from a different perspective to examine all its hidden nuances.

4. Think like a winner.

Focus on winning. Don’t think ahead about what you will do if you fail. Don’t set yourself up for failure.

5. Learn to lose with dignity.

Having lost once, you will start afresh, and you will avoid making the same mistakes.

6. Enjoy the process.

Enjoy the work that you do, enjoy even the smallest progress. Every minute dedicated to achieving a goal gives new experience, important skills, reasons to be happy.
