This weekends,

I came down to learn one important lesson of my life.

I put it this way,

“Children have more access to creative intelligence than us”.

I didn’t use the word, “Mind”. Because we all have mind. But our mind has lot of clutters and fallacies. Which prevent us from having access to creative intelligence.

Somehow I manage to enter into his area and try to checkmate him. But soon comes a time when I loose majority of my pieces than him including Queen (My 90% Strength).

After the game, I have ponder over it when I went to bed at night. After reflecting on whole incident.

I realised that,
