Life is a game of chess

A Story by Om

An article exposing the unforgiving world we live in - and perhaps what it takes to survive as well as succeed among those who will try to trap or bring you down

How many times have you experienced being deceived or fooled? Why do people gossip about one another? Why do they cheat? More often than not, to reach to the top. You see, if someone perceives competition which they cannot fairly outrun, they will try to hamper their competitor's progress rather than just accepting that there is someone better than them - in other words, "defeat". They cannot & will not accept that everyone has their own strengths & weaknesses.

The question remains, how to handle these people, before they wreck your career & make your life a misery? Fight or fly? Or is there another option? Try to reform them? What should you do, how to do it & why? How do you recover from any trap you do fall victim of? How do you avoid or reverse a checkmate when you are brought crashing down & no-one is there to support you? How do you begin all over again?

Everyone's comments are welcome...so please join in the discussion & evoke some thought!
