Many tasks

Im' putting my attention again to chess although I really want to write poetry.
I'm reading Garry Kasparov book on chess tactics and Hemingway's A Moveable Feast.
At the same I'm preparing for my role as an assistant district governor in my Rotary district. The work is assisting the district governor helps the local Rotary club.

Because my mind likes to do many things all at the same day not necessarily all at the same time I have to be organized and I'm not. There lies my problem.

Old but still new

With care the old training airplane flies like new.
Keeping our body and mind fit they can last forever almost...
Lots of studies now support that physical fitness can make us sharp and agile. Fragility can be postponed.
Calm, happy and detached attitude makes an enjoyable life.

Lessons learned

A few lessons I learned after reading Moonwalking with Einstein by Joshua Foer:
"Practice makes perfect-only if it's the right kind of concentrated, self-conscious, deliberate practice";
"How we perceive the world and how we act in it are products of how and what we remember..."
"...our ability to find humor in the world, to make connections between previously unconnected common culture:all these essentially human acts depend on memory."

All these seem so obvious but they are not.
