Chess Improvement: Too Lazy to solve chess books.

Of course! One is never lazy to seek motivation! It's not like I am just bored with books or whatsoever, I sometimes feel like there's a much easier way through which I can improve, but as said by someone, you need to do things which you hate in order to succeed. Probably can continue Vishy's "Mind Master" Which is his biography through his entire chess career for motivation while solving the tough books. Thank you for your advice MrPushwood!

As said by me in #8, I decided to run a motivational biography alongside the main book which will help me throughout, thank you for the advice!

> Chess is just a game, a pastime, a hobby, a diversion. In the grand scheme of things, it is not very important. Concentrate on doing well in school, socializing, playing sports, and enjoying your youth. Are you getting good grades? Do you have a girlfriend or a boyfriend? Do you play music or have any interesting hobbies? Do you enjoy family activities and spending time with your parents? Those important moments will slip away...

Many of the people who excel at the game are socially retarded, odd misfits who fail at the most important aspects of life: love, relationships, career, meaningful activities.

Hey David!
Thank you so much for the advice :)
Of course, it's just a game and not a thing to be opt for your main career for everyone.
I really do socialize, I am also doing fantastic at my grades, I am not in such a big grade that I need to study for hours. I have three more years until I can give my best at chess, because after that probably would need to slow down of studies. And yeah lol, I'm not at a age to have relationships :kekw:, and of course chess is just a game for most of the players and the odds in getting it as your main career is very less. But I'd like to give all of my free time towards chess because I like it, currently there are no study/social issues with me so I'll continue it till I can. Thanks again David for such a great reply!
