"It's too easy to find people who've failed and are embittered. The best thing you can do is hang around people who've succeeded and are happy doing what you want to do. Learn from them."

Chess is a very positive way to exercise your mind. It makes you look at the whole picture...what are your options and what is the best thing to do? In football, you are mostly reacting from a defensive point of view...but you always want to be counterattacking...a similarity with chess strategy. Chess and offensive football are quite similar; you sacrifice something now to get something back later.
