It's always difficult not playing games and that match fitness and sharpness is something you always lack when you don't get that opportunity.

When you don't play, you really feel the difference of what matches give you. The match-sharpness, the fitness. It's what you need to progress.

Take advantage of every opportunity to practice your communication skills so that when important occasions arise, you will have the gift, the style, the sharpness, the clarity, and the emotions to affect other people.

Acceptance is a great state to be in. It surely does not make a problem disappear. But the struggle stops. The 'Why?', 'Why Me?', questions die down. There is complete calm. When there is calm, there is focus, there is a sharpness. When you are focused, you invest yourself in solving the problem. You stop complaining about the problem. When you are non-complaining, you are at peace; you are happy with what is.

May your sweetness outweigh your sharpness! May your understanding....outweigh your intellect!

It has always seemed strange to me...The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second.
