Recently, I had the opportunity to sat and play Chess with a wise young man at the age of 20 years old named, Kito Jones while in Downtown Atlanta, Georgia. Prior to playing this particular opponent, I had the honor of playing Chess with other individuals.
Typically, because I have not played Chess in a number of years against any worthy or unworthy individual, instead of trash English talking in an attempt to 'Psych' my competitor out; I often state the following excuse:
" I'm just practicing while playing Chess."
But actually, I was really redirecting my mind to improve focus on creating 'Strategy'.
Nevertheless, I was honored to recognized that young Kito Jones learned well from his own Father. Kito told me that his Father started teaching him the Game of Chess at the age of 5 years old.
During a series of matches, he made some profound statements that any Father would be glad to hear.
He clearly understood that a loss is never a loss, unless you do not learn from it.
Perhaps, redirected - the above statement is a great life lesson learned when developing a successful venture of any kind.
When I asked Kito Jones to elaborate on the comment, he stated the following;
'When you learn from a loss, it becomes an experience. Through experiences, perhaps you gain knowledge and wisdom.'I once heard the following saying, 'Out of the mouths of babes, God speaks'.
Indeed he does in my professional opinion. Well, these are my thoughts, what say you?
