Some tears in the eye due to those words. Ain't a big deal for the speaker, ain't a big deal for anyone in this world. It's only me who cares, it's only me whom it hurts.
'Cause what is chess?
A hobby.
What kind of career it is?
An imaginary.
What is to play the Olympiad?
An illegal act against the campus (number of acceptable absences overrun).
What is to miss a lesson?
A big mistake. No attendance -- no knowledge.
Now let me tell you my answers.
What is chess?
My life.
What kind of career it is?
A tough one that is often not sufficient for making a living and a complementary job is necessary. But I chose this life.
What is to play the Olympiad?
The dream that I was fighting for since childhood.
What is to miss a lesson?
A disadvantage for my studies that I have to live with -- for chess.
Everything is just the question of the point of view. We have different priorities: a thing that is so dear to one's heart may look ridiculous to the other. And vice versa.
For me chess holds an utmost importance. But not only chess. There are couple of other goals I'm aiming to reach. I'm interested in my studies and I want to finish university. Successfully. As an Olympic player. Why not?!
It's time to dry those tears and say: I can. I will. I know I will.
