It is not enough to win the first move, you have to be able to see beyond that move to anticipate multiple possibilities or outcomes. <br /><br />It is also important as in chess to recogonize that to lose can often enable one to win everything later. This was particularly hard for me to learn but it has served me well.

(Along with your further elaborations). We must not be mousy and go full steam in order to be successful. By being mousy, white folks have taken our ideas and become millionaires using the same or similar scenarios. This is such a terrific post. Thanks and I most definitely will be putting the ones I had not done into practice. Theory is over.Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16515274985831595151noreply@blogger.com
