A Winning Character:
Whether it’s a mind game like chess, a sport like tennis or in any business or life pursuit, the people that achieve high levels of success usually share several characteristics.
Among the winning attributes they have in common are fearlessness, determination, aggression, resilience, hunger and creativity. They also tend to share four skill sets, the ability to focus, to analyse and observe, to be accurate and have keen intuition or feel.
When a person has these attitudes and skills he is often able to achieve success in what appears to be completely different fields. Governor Schwarzenegger has enjoyed peak performance in three careers, from body building to movie stardom to politics.
Sometimes a single business decision will require a successful entrepreneur to use all of his skills. Chess and poker provide an excellent platform for developing these key qualities.
