Dear Dreamer,
Recently, a video of me playing chess against 10 people simultaneously in Germany has been making rounds on the internet. This has brought a lot of attention to me as i have gained over 200k followers across social media from that one video. It has been a little overwhelming for me, but i think it presents a rare opportunity to share a profound lesson.
8 years ago, I quit playing chess professionally. I was a talented kid who had won a number of tournaments and had great dreams and aspirations to become a Grandmaster. I gave up along the line, partly because there was no way to finance this pursuit of personal glory and more importantly because I had found a deeper calling to use my love and knowledge of chess as a tool to empower children in poverty. I was 21years old at the time, so it seemed like such an unwise decision. But I took the road less travelled regardless and it has indeed made all the difference. This birthed the Chess in slums project that has given thousands of children society often overlooks a fighting chance.
So I say this to the young, the old, and the extraordinarily talented person reading this: each of you holds a unique talent or skill that sets you apart. When you use this talent solely for your ambitions, it brings you success and there's nothing wrong with that. However, when you choose to share this gift with others, especially those who may never have the same opportunities, it transforms into something far more powerful: it becomes purpose.
I urge you today to look beyond personal success and envision how your talents, whether in the arts, science, music,eloquence,writing, teaching, tech, sports etc can contribute to the greater good and give more people a sense of belonging.
While it may seem extraordinary that one man can play chess against 10 people at the same time, it does pale in comparison to the most significant moves I have ever made- which is dedicating my life and ideas to the service of others.
I don't ever want to be remembered as the man who could beat 10 people at Chess, but rather as the man who helped children believe they could do great things from small places.
The true essence of our talents and gifts is realized not when we bask in the applause on stage, but when we use our stage to give a voice to those who cannot speak for themselves.
So Dreamer, know thyself. Explore your talents, hone it, nurture it and whrn the time is right, share it as a gift to the world. This is how our civilization has advanced because men and women of great talent, knowledge and skill had the courage and nobility to share their gifts with others.
Not one of us can feel his duty done unless he can say that because he lived, something or someone upon earth has been made just a little better.
Keep going dreamer, i hope you never stop giving the world something new to believe in.
