… or upside down? And which is the better plan in the long run? Clearly, different people are going to need to approach planning and direction in different ways, but Tom Chandler offers some arresting thoughts about how to change the way you think about your career and your life goals by tearing a page from the greatest chess player the world has ever known, Garry Kasparov.
Tom even includes the design for a simple worksheet to help you implement this change in your thinking patterns. Excellent stuff, Tom. Thank you.

i’d be more interested in seeing a step-by-step case scenario of this theory put into practice.
the chess player analogy really doesn’t hold up for me as a one-sentence guide. okay, i envision winning the match. all i have to do is work backward to figure out “how”. ooops! check and mate…the other player didn’t follow my plan!
while i can understand the concept of having a well-defined goal before one can achieve it, i am continually frustrated by self-help pieces that more or less boil down to “then just do it”.
others can obviously see the value in this. what am i missing here?

I found this article useful. I think sometimes we makes things much more complicated than they need be. I already passed this on to Delana.
thanks for sharing,

Chris,
Thank you. I agree. It’s easy to over think many things, making them more complicated that they need to be. Speaking of which, Rowell, you’ve asked such an interesting set of questions that I’m going to go ahead and over think to the point of posting a new entry on my blog to do my best to point you and anyone else watching in the direction I see this leading.
Be well,
Bob
sorry to cause you more homework, maestro, but i’ll be most interested in hearing you put more meat on these bones.
i learn from you at nearly every turn.
