I am a big proponent of this philosophy. I think it is extremely important to have a mindset of "3-4 moves ahead". It can be a bit dark but I believe in life you need to be quite calculating.
People get so caught up in the present and don't think ahead. A classic example is in work environments - everyone is trying to climb to the top, but you have to be strategic about it, control your emotions and execute your plan.
The pawn is a great metaphor too, it represents the sacrifice of one aspect of your life for an end goal.
Well said. Ideally we cannot plan each and every moment but at least intent to strategically decide 3-4 moves ahead can definitely bring fruitful outcome in life.
Thank you so much for the feedback, much appreciated :)
Agreed!
My pleasure.
