Dear Daughter,
Happy New Year!
With each New Year, and each new day, life will bring us challenges that may seem too big to overcome at times.
However, when we take such challenges one move at a time, as in a game of chess, we can deal with them. Sometimes, in Life, there is no winner, nor loser though. You will hear a lot of talk about winning and losing as you grow up, but always remember, that the most important thing is whether or not you participate and how you react to games that you win, or ones that you lose.
In chess, there is also a Stalemate, in which the game can go no further, and each side must concede. Knowing when to concede or when to keep playing will serve you far better than how many times you win.
Life is not a game of Chess, though. Life is much, much richer and complex in its beauty and challenges than a single game could ever be.
I Love You,
Papa
