“Do you realize how you are trapped in a reactive mode? Preparing your offence or defence, in anticipation of the next move from the ecosystem- your wife, the boss, the market or your competitors?”
“Agree that I need to be proactive, and let others plan in anticipation of my next move”.
And so, the game of chess continued. He had never known any other level of existence.

I like the way you use a chess game to expose a life. I don’t want my life to be like a chess game but it probably does have some aspects of the game in it. Well done and quite interesting. Thanks for sharing with In Other Words.

Thanks, Patricia! We cannot escape the chess board. It is just about finding a part of life outside it.

Thank you, Josie! Genuine Innovation has suffered in the process. We only react to competition or the markets.
