Chastity's Chess Challenge

Each time I was rejected by a person or employer, I learned that I was not in the right place. A smart Chess player must learn from their losses and not keep making the same mistakes.

The Navy was not for me, Hy-Vee was not for me, and the National Records Center was not for me. My place of employment right now is at Walmart, but my true place is the Chess board where there is no discrimination and even a lowly pawn can become a Queen.

    How cool! Not knowing the first move in chess, I imagine a great many strategies of moving forward, knowing when to wait, knowing how to manage pieces against or with each other, on and on. I couldn’t help but smile reading, ” . . . even a lowly pawn can become a Queen.”

      That is one of the things I find most inspiring about Chess. Don’t dismiss the pawns because there are many of them and even 1 of them is enough to cause trouble later on if you ignore it. I see the pawns as the average people who are not royalty or in positions of power in society but they have strength in numbers.
