I like to talk about a skill that was difficult for me to learn, which is playing chess. I wanted to show that I'm intellectual, so I decided to learn how to play chess. Initially, it was difficult to understand the rules of the game because in chess, there are several rules related to the pieces, such as their movements, their figures, and their rules. After that, I started to understand everything. So I explained my world in understanding chess. Looking back, I think it taught me to be more open-minded and confident. During these chess lessons, I learned to be more intellectual by using my overthinking skills. It helped me eventually learn this skill. I realized that my mind can overcome all challenges by using itself. All skills can be learned; just try it.
