Hi. I'm sure I have not posted in a while, but I just didn't have the time to.

While there are thousands of talented athletes in the world, there are a small number of individuals who rise to the top of their game and earn the title of G.O.A.T - The Greatest of All Time. One of these is Grandmaster chess player, Garry Kasparov. Garry was the top-ranked chess player in the world for fifteen straight years (1985 - 2000). He started playing chess when he was just seven years old.
To become an expert, he practiced for hours every day. According to some scientists, you have to practice a skill for 10 000 hours (about 9 years) in order to become an expert. Wow, that is a lot of practice!For Garry, this meant training to play chess every day at a special school with special coaches. He was not able to attend regular school and did not have much ‘free’ time to spend with family and friends.
Being the GOAT of one thing may sound good to people, but people that have been the GOAT at something know the pros and cons of being one.
The Pros of being the GOAT:
- You are respected by many.
- You hold extreme ability and knowledge in the sport or game.
- You are considered better than everyone that face you.
The Cons of being the GOAT:
- You must keep your reputation and name clean and perfect.
- Losing at least one match will have your reputation immediately stained, or broken. It might not, but that's how it might work.
- You have to be active always. You have to be ready everyday, just in case someone challenges you to that title of yours.
Being the best at something might be good for some people; they might think that it's amazing. But there could always be something that is a disadvantage to being the best.
Well, that's it, bla bla bla, ok, bye!
