Impromptu. This is what I would say to today's title. A thought cropped up in my mind. This is inspired from one of my games played during my college days. At hostels, we used to play chess. In one of the games with my room partner, it happened that I was in a precarious position. I had done castling and my Rook had moved to keep my King open behind three pawns. The other players rook was in right position to bring it to my side and give my King check and mate. Only one chance was needed for him. From there on, I just decided that I won't give him chance. I was not a great player. But just thought that if I give him chance to play, I would lose in next step. That prompted me to give check, so he does not have any option but to move his king. Because if I give him option, he would checkmate me. I gave checks without thinking and a moment came when my check actually mated him. I won.
Sometimes we are also down. Everything is dooming and it is only our endeavor which keeps us alive. Any moment and it would be shutters down. At such times, we should concentrate on small wins. May be that big things are too far away, but if we manage to win even small trades, we might be well on our WAY TO VICTORY. Quitting is a big question. Because it all depends on whether we should quit or not. May be we will just bottom out. May be not. Focusing on these small wins will make you concentrate on bottoming out. If you are getting better and better day by day, trade by trade, then you have just closed that probability of closing down. You have started to make those small moves, which will add up to become a big WIN. Remember that Rome was not built in a day.
Also, remember that it is only a drop that makes an ocean.
