Malaysia tour was wonderful:
During Spet. 1 to 10 of 2010 I visited Malaysia. Paticipated in Senior group of chess tournament organized by DATO ARTHUR TAN CHESS CENTRE. It was very nice experience playing in tournament after a long gap. Here I met “Dato Tan Chin Nam” Dato is award of honour by Malaysian Government. Like “Padam Bhusan” in India. Dato impressed me for his activeness and sprit even in age of 85 +. He is true well wisher of young generation. I seen a book written Larry Parr and gone through comment made by GRANDMASTER YASSER SEIRAWAN (Four –time US chess champion) “ Tan Chin Nam is a grandmaster among chess patrons. He alsotells a grand story about a life of adventure,daring,filure and success. Not just long-lived, my dear friend has lived life to its fullest measure. Read about his “Rules of Life” and how he turnedhis dreams into reality.” I want share with my friends to think about success of Dato Tan:
“ When my children went out into the world, I had them write down these three points:
1. Marry whom you want,whatever their race or creed , but make sure that both you and your prospective partner in life understand each other’s language.
2. Do not harm, hurt or inconvenience people. By “harm” I mean employing force or fraud. By “hurt” I mean injuring feelings. Do not act exuberantly—pumping your fists in the air and shouting “ I win and you guys are chopped liver ! ” …………..Time is money” ….A Chinese proverb runs that a man”s body is not his own because of the demands of time.
3. Despise not any man and carp not at lesser objects, for there is not a man who has not his hour and a thing that has not its place. A policeman stops you, and you tell him. “ I am so incredibly important that my father is the combined cabinet of Malaysia.” He replies, “That’s no good, do you know who Ahmed is?” As it turns out, he is Ahmedand and hands you a traffic ticket. For this is Ahmads’s hour. And there are manyAhmeds and any such hours. Time wounds all heels but does not heel all wounds. Snubbed people come back to haunt you…………………………………..When I had chance for revenge, I stopped short.Forgiving your trespasers, as is urged in the Lord’s prayer, is not only the right thing to do. It is oftenthe wisest thing to do…………….
There are many other excellent experiences which I may shere with my friends in future or I can recomand reading book “Never say I assume!” It is realy wonderful.
