Not Just A Chess Game, But Wisdom From Youth

by C. Henry Adams


Recently, I had the opportunity to sat and play Chess with a wise young man at the age of 20 years old named, Kito Jones while in Downtown Atlanta, Georgia.   Prior to playing this particular opponent, I had the honor of playing Chess with other individuals.

Typically, because I have not played Chess in a number of years against any worthy or unworthy individual, instead of trash English talking in an attempt to 'Psych' my competitor out;  I often state the following excuse:

" I'm just practicing while playing Chess." 

But actually, I was really redirecting my mind to improve focus on creating 'Strategy'.

Nevertheless,  I was honored to recognized that young Kito Jones learned well from his own Father.  Kito told me that his Father started teaching him the Game of Chess at the age of 5 years old.

During a series of matches, he made some profound statements that any Father would be glad to hear.

He clearly understood that a loss is never a loss, unless you do not learn from it.

Perhaps, redirected - the above statement is a great life lesson learned when developing a successful venture of any kind.

When I asked Kito Jones to elaborate on the comment, he stated the following;

'When you learn from a loss, it becomes an experience.  Through experiences, perhaps you gain knowledge and wisdom.'I once heard  the following saying, 'Out of the mouths of babes, God speaks'.

Indeed he does in my professional opinion.   Well, these are my thoughts, what say you?

C. H. Adams Resignation from Christ Community AME Church as a Member / Steward

"Taking the High Road out of Love & Respect"

November 11th 2018


Giving Honor to God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit; thank you for allowing me to see, yet another day on this Earth.

For 48 years of my short life span, I have been a member of an African Methodist Episcopal Church somewhere in the United States of America.  

Under the directions of my late parents' guidance, this particular Church developed me as an individual while helping to raise myself into Manhood.

Today, I stand as an American Citizen, Veteran of the USMC, Registered Voter,  Entrepreneur and man that know no boundaries when faced with adversity.

Since the year 2000, I've served in Christ Community AME Church as a Member, Trustee and finally a Steward.

I am grateful to Senior Pastor C. O Adams, Jr., his wife, immediate family, as well as, my Christ Community Church Family for the love, generosity and support shown to myself for 18 years.

Therefore, I tender my resignation effectively immediately as a Member and Officer while taking the high road with love and respect.

I sincerely pray that God will continue to bless this Church in its future endeavors.

Sincerely,
C. H. Adams

Challenges In Contacting Background Check Websites To Request Removal

by  C. Henry Adams


5th of a multi-series of discussions in this manner.  (Character Assassination Attempts.)



As a Consultant, now going over 20 years or at least since 1998; I have not been without hardships.

As a Realist and Optimist, I realized life is short.  Each day that we have the chance or opportunity to just wake up to see another day is in itself a miracle.

So, why lie about individuals, people, organizations, companies or even countries that one obviously would know very little about?

This is the question that I asked myself when I recently read false, misleading information pertaining to my personal life on the Internet.

The web site is called, MyLife.com.  After reading about me, I stop and controlled my passions or emotions.   Something that I could not do years ago.

But, I guess today is a new day.

At this point in my life,  I have learn to fall.  Then, turn over and lay on my back where I have fallen.

Why?  Well,  if I can look up, perhaps, I can get back up again to be neither here nor there.  In other words keep moving while being on my way forward in life.

Casting Judgement Is A The Two - Edged Sword

by C. Henry Adams

4th of a multi-series of discussions in this manner.  (Character Assassination Attempts.)


The term 'conclude' has two meanings.   One meaning would be to arrive at a judgement or opinion by some sort of reasoning.  While the other meaning would bring an existence to an end.

So, perhaps it could be said, if you judge, you will be judged.   Therefore, the alternative is not to judge.

I've often heard that when people talk about a person whether it be positive or negative; it could elevate attention to the individual, group of people, organization or even a country to say the very least who has been targeted.

So, how you perceive (become aware of the attack), receive (suffer its affliction) and retrograde ( reverse the effects ) to a more affirmative action in your favor when a character assassination is attempted, takes time moving forward.

While it is a must to recognize immediately the attack; its equally important to address this onslaught in a methodological manner that must become proactive, as opposed to reactive in nature.

Believe it or not, to do so .... you must not conclude the opposing force against you or you would be concluded.

Instead, you must learn to reverberate positive energy as actions to counteract the incursion.

Just a thought.

Talking About Professionally Opinionated Facts

by C. Henry Adams

3rd of a multi-series of discussions in this manner.  (Character Assassination Attempts.)


An opinion (Negative or Positive) can NOT be proven or disproved.   However, a fact can be proven or disapproved.  Thus, there lies slander.   < Please, carefully observe key terms written. >

Basically,  being critical of anyone, anything, group or organization could implement positive or even very negative consequences against the messenger.

But, what if you are the Target of the Messenger?

How do you REACT to untangle the web of lies mixed with truth based on opinion?

Answer:   You don't.   Why?   By doing so, you exponentiate or increase the Lies & possibly negative opinion of oneself.

So, what should you do?    Step quietly away from the matter, to pray and or meditate.  Think carefully regarding the cause while spiritually asking for a solution to resolve the issue as you relax calmly.

Sounds crazy?  Actually, its brilliant when one applies the proper discipline to overcome an obstacle in life.

Thus, there lies strategy.

Thanks!

If creating excuses for indicative behavior. Then, what about the lies told to pacify the actions?

by C. Henry Adams

2nd of a multi-series of discussions in this manner.  (Character Assassination Attempts.)


If creating excuses for indicative behavior. Then, what about the lies told to pacify the actions?

The above two statements can easily be taken out of context, therefore, this assertion is my disclaimer; not to be implied or accusing anyone including myself regarding this conversation.

In fact, I will actually utilize the third person poorly to make an example, while investigating a claim and making an indirect attempt to tell the truth.

But, 1st - you must know the truth, to be able to tell the truth.  The truth is; we are human.

We are not perfect and we have all made mistakes.

In this dialogue, it is my hopes, the readers learn from individuals' mistakes while avoiding an unnecessary fate in their lives as a result of them.

Here we go....

Truth: We have all made inadequate course of actions.

Fact: At some point in life, it is likely we have made an attempt to correct those poor selections and abstain from constantly repeating them.

A Professionally Opinionated Fact: Other people do not need to know all of the bad choices we made, (if) we are not showing signs of repeating them.

Question: So, what would someone need to know about you in particular? 

Answer:   Based on time and close observations which should be verifiable by FACTS while not LIES; one's overall character. 

Why? 

Fore, how you choose to conduct yourself around others or NOT around them is indeed your business or prerogative of its own.

How Does One Prevail Against Character Assassination Attempts? - A New Journey 0n the Internet

By C. Henry Adams

1st of a multi-series of discussions in this manner.

A Creed To Prevail Against Character Assassination on the Internet & Anywhere....

Today, I woke up and saw the light from the Sun, our Star, then realize I made it to another day.  A day that I've never seen before and once its gone, I will never see it again.

This to me, is the first sign of survival in a World mixed with Good and Evil.

Today, because I have the power and know while humbly realizing that I have ability to think then, manifest things to be positive or negative in my life; I choose to be positive while good.

So, when one, whether it be a person, a group of people, an organization or any type of principality set out to destroy me while causing all manners of evil to befall upon me, I will in the end prevail.
