"Chess forces you to deal with defeat. You are the only player; if you lose it is all on you. If you win a lot of games, you are going to lose a lot of games, too. If you want to get better, you have to learn how to pick yourself up and keep going.
Our kids do not have to excel in athletics to learn these lessons. They can play chess. We do not have to put pressure on them to win - they will figure it out for themselves."

This gem came from my daughter’s chess coach. I love the last sentence, “We do not have to put pressure on them to win - they will figure it out for themselves.”
Good thing to remember as a parent.

The photo above is a screenshot from the Banana Republic homepage earlier tonight.
Banana Republic,
When your pants give camel toe to a model:
1. Don’t put it on your homepage.
2. There’s no way in HELL I’m going to buy them.
I know I said it already but it bears repeating: SERIOUSLY, DO NOT PUT AN IMAGE LIKE THIS ON YOUR HOMEPAGE. Or, if there really wasn’t ONE other good photo of that suit from the photo shoot at least use a little Photoshop to ease up that moose knuckle!
I mean, really.

"The hardest period in life is one’s twenties. It’s a shame because you’re your most gorgeous and you’re physically in peak condition. But it’s actually when you’re most insecure and full of self-doubt. When you don’t know what’s going to happen, it’s frightening."
