I was playing in a chess tournament a couple of years ago. I had to face a much smaller kid close to the podium places. After five rounds or so, I became one of the leaders.
The game was quite intense, but he played well, considering his age and experience. I felt that he had seemed a bit too nervous, which resulted in his defeat.
After the game ended, he was unfortunate, and I wouldn’t say I liked that, so I went up to him to cheer him up and congratulated him for playing such a good game. I befriended him and made sure that everything was ok and happy that he was fine.
Takeaway
When you feel uplifted, try doing the same for others as well and spread kindness.
