Just do it

Too often we are scared.
Scared of what we might not be able to do.
Scared of what people might think if we tried.
We let our fears stand in the way of our hopes.
We say no when we want to say yes.
We sit quietly when we want to scream.
And we shout with the others,
when we should keep our mouths shut.
Why?
After all,
we do only go around once.
There's really no time to be afraid.
So stop.
Try something you've never tried.
Risk it.
Enter a triathlon.
Write a letter to the editor.
Demand a raise.
Call winners at the toughest court.
Throw away your television.
Bicycle across the United States.
Try bobsledding.
Try anything.
Speak out against the designated hitter.
Travel to a country where you don't speak the language.
Patent something.
Call her.
You have nothing to lose
and everything
everything
everything to gain.
JUST DO IT.

Number jumping

The Number jumping game



Number of players: 2 (one white and the other black)

Objective : Similar to chess, eliminate all the numbers of the enemy. The white cards have to eliminate all the black cards for the white to win.

Game play:

White starts the game. The player can chose any number and move it either diagonally,vertically or horizontally. The number of steps the person takes is based on the number on the card. E.g. The player moves the number 6, he moves the card 6 times up(vertical). The player has to stick on to the orientation, he cannot move 3 steps vertically then 3 steps diagonally.
The cards can rebounce on the walls and still maintain the same orientation.

Special features:

The 'X' spot is where one card can rest and not be eliminated unless the enemy surrounds it on all the 4 sides. There are warp zones for each of the sides to help avoid the danger.
