🧵1/4 I'm a Go player (the ancient Chinese board game). It's a wonderfully deep game and it forces you to train your mind in many ways. These lessons often apply to the rest of life and maybe I'll share more of them later.

🧵2/4 Today however, there's one specific lesson on my mind: I don't know what the best move is. I don't know if the opponent's move is good or bad. I just have to accept what's on the board and continue from there.

🧵3/4 If I assign a value to the opponent's move and say it's bad, it is incredibly likely I make an even bigger mistake in response, trying to take advantage of it - especially if the original move indeed wasn't a mistake.
