“Tell me, Master, what is the best move in the world?”

There simply is no such thing as the best or even a good move apart from a particular situation in a game and the particular personality of one’s opponent.

The same holds for human existence. One should not search for an abstract meaning of life. Everyone has his own specific vocation or mission in life to carry out a concrete assignment which demands fulfillment.

Therein he cannot be replaced, nor can his life be repeated. Thus, everyone’s task is as unique as is his specific opportunity to implement it.

Football

Life is so unfair. He wasn’t on the offense; his job was defense, not to catch the ball. But, he was playing the game. And what difference would possession make?

So the missed catch split his life, a mortal caesura so to speak, his life before and after the unexpected happening.

Piloting a paraglider around the turn of the millennium. That’s M with outstretched arms.

Now my wing is in the garage, ready for the museum. It’s still flight worthy, and it could still break my neck.

But finally in 1817 the bicycle was invented, and that idea led to the motorcycle, and doing backflips:

What invention of the past could use a new twist today?

With 3 seconds left in the fourth quarter and his team down 16-17, Ravens (#9) kicker Justin Tucker swung his leg with as much power as he could and broke the record for the longest field goal in league history, a 66-yarder that bounced off the crossbar and into the net.

Use chess tactics to thrive in the face of incalculable complexities and unexpected change. The basic principles of good play – get a big idea, use it to build an advantage, improve it, swap it out for a new one, move quickly, see what happens, make a new plan, and move again – works on a professional level just as they do in corporate warfare.

For human beings, motion is life. Our bodies are made to move. By exercising modestly on a regular basis, we can change the rate of our aging on a biochemical level. Regular exercise also improves mood, boosts energy levels, and builds self-confidence.
