Life Has No Choice ...sometimes!

         We look for something different each day. An event to happen, a person to meet,a place to explore, a new book to read, a new recipe to try or perhaps a new job. We desire for change, but most often why do people stay and endure....because of simple reason: Life has no choice...sometimes!
          Some people are not effective on their works because they have no choice to leave unless they want to sacrifice their family. We need to live and we need to work, despite the odds of life.
        But then , our reactions to what we have and  where we are is our CHOICE, thanks God, we have a choice! You may have arguments with office mates, you may have loss your money, or you may have forgotten who your friends were, still you can be happy. Emotionally we can have choices, that's the truth!!
        I would like to relate a very important matter to me that happen two weeks ago, when we were competing for the 2nd Congressional Meet for the event of chess. The picture below shows the position of the pieces where we have to decide for a stealmate because the game has been in progress for almost two hours and there are still games for the next hours. I, as coach have no choice but to reconsider my player's situation. I decided not to risk more time anymore. Both have strong defenses and the opponent, though has an advantage of one piece( a pawn)we decided to end the game. It could be our winning moment, but then I have made my decision and it was the best decision that I had because I can see weariness in  their eyes . The next game were all losses. At the end of the day, we choose to be happy. We're ready for possible fights...next year, huh!!

We are holding the black pieces.
