I studied chess for a while when I climbed mountains in Tibet. The protectors of Shangri-La taught me patience and understanding of human nature. Later in life I studied the military strategies of Sitting Bull, Genghis Khan, Alexander the Great, Red Auerbach and Richard Nixon (you also learn from losing). My patience was further enhanced from the hunger strikes of Gandhi and the eating habits of Karen Carpenter. My education was completed by watching a marathon of South Park episodes. Now, at the age of twelve, I am ready to experience interaction with 'real' people. Good Luck!
