Overcoming Distractions

This was Om Swami's discourse on overcoming fears and distractions given to a group of young teens and students in the self-transformation retreat for teens.
There was a guy once. He was very young when he got interested in chess. He kept losing in earlier years of his life but he did not give up and kept pursuing his passion for chess. So much so that eventually he became world’s second youngest grand master at the age of 13 years and 4 months. He is a current world chess champion. His name is Magnus Carlsen. Here are two quotes from him:
“Some people think that if their opponent plays a beautiful game, it’s OK to lose. I don’t. You have to be merciless.”
“I can’t count the times I have lagged seemingly hopelessly far behind, and nobody except myself thinks I can win. But I have pulled myself in from desperate [situations]. When you are behind there are two strategies - counter-attack or all men to the defenses. I’m good at finding the right balance between those.”
Somebody asked a question the other day. What to do when you are insulted and how to protect yourself? Sometimes you put all your energies into defending your position and sometimes you put all your energies in counter attacking. If somebody comes at you with wisdom and knowledge and tries to intimidate you, at that time you can’t walk away fearing what would happen. You can face the person if you have the knowledge as well. You can only do so if you have the knowledge and wisdom. Ultimately knowledge wins.

Strategies given by Swamiji to deal with difficult people and difficult circumstances are very practical and transformative in itself. Extra ordinary wisdom on top of that acts like a topping on the cone. Million times gratitude for this exceptional and transformative discourse, Swamiji.

[@judithlopez8796]

*HELP* *!* I'm sorry, I've repeated the video and still don't seem to understand what is it that we have to do to overcome distractions. I didn't make the connection

[@lazyninja4504]

judith lopez it may be wrong title

[@DineshKumar-lq2ck]

Naming is incorrect. It's not about distraction.

[@komalomR]

I know it's been two years, but try the 'studying effectively ' video by Om Swami. It might help!:)
