In the confessions of player Lai Ly Huynh after the 2025 World Chess Championship, there is an impressive detail. He said he had learned to nesset pressure to play chess with a more calm mind. This sharing is not only for the sports world, but touches each of us in our daily lives.
Life is no different from a game, always having opportunities, opportunities, countries going by surprise and even countries going by mistake. We have been, are and will still be easily caught up in the spiral of pressure from life - work, food, clothes, comparisons... Taking advantage of the times, we see that we are no different from good children on the chessboard, being controlled by life, even sacrificing, rather than being the boss. But as Lai Li Huynh shared, instead of letting pressure suppress, we can practice sowing positive seeds in our minds. To not forget that we are the ones leading.
No one lives without stumbling. In the game of life, there are countries that go wrong, leaving behind regrets. But if we know how to nurture positivity, each mistake becomes a lesson, each difficulty becomes an opportunity to train the mind. Staying optimistic does not mean dreaming, but is knowing how to find a little light in the midst of the darkness. That is a philosophy that anyone, in the midst of everyday life, can grasp to move forward.
Not only sports that require physical strength and power, even intellectual sports show that pressure only really exists when we let it dominate our heads. Consider pressure as a practice partner, instead of a cage that restrains the mind, we will feel more relieved to walk and rush into challenges. And at that point, belief in yourself becomes the decisive chess.
Everyone played their own game of chess, no one could play for them. Winning or losing is not just a skill, but a mentality. People who know how to sow positive seeds and stay optimistic often find countries that are more creative and courageous. gambling will be long, life does not wait for anyone. But just believing that we are in charge, instead of letting life arrange, we have stepped one step closer to victory.
