Part 1 of 5. 

Inside a dusty workroom, an old craftsman held up a chess piece to the window. He rotated it in the sunlight and inspected its every detail. 

“Perfection,” said the craftsman. 

He added it to the set he had been building. Sixteen grey pieces sat on his worktable, all handmade and almost ready for sale. 

The craftsman felt very satisfied with his designs. He was ready for the final stage of the process. He picked up one of the pawn pieces and said, “What about you, my little friend? What colour would you like to be?” 

He reached for his paint brush, dunked it into glass of water and then into a container of paint. The grey pawn received a heavy coating of shiny white paint.

Fast-forward several years into the future. After repeated use and abuse, that little pawn’s proud white colour had faded. Areas of his original grey were visible. Because of this, whenever players assembled their chess set, they left this little grey-white pawn to the side. 

“Uhm, is that yours or mine?” said the white player. 

“It doesn’t matter. Put it back in the box and choose from the others,” said the black player. 

This little plastic pawn’s name was Gary.

知道 (zhīdào) and 认识 (rènshi) are both verbs that can be translated as "to know" in English, but they have different meanings and uses.
知道 (zhīdào) means "to be aware of or to have knowledge of something." It is used to express that you have information or understanding about a fact or situation.
For example:
* 		我知道你的生日是什么时候。 (Wǒ zhīdào nǐ de shēngrì shì shénme shíhòu. ) - I know when your birthday is.
* 		你知道他的电话号码吗？ (Nǐ zhīdào tā de diànhuà hàomǎ ma?) - Do you know his phone number?
认识 (rènshi) means "to be familiar with or to have met someone." It is used to express that you have a personal connection with someone or have encountered them before.
For example:
* 		我认识你的妈妈。 (Wǒ rènshi nǐ de māma. ) - I know your mom.
* 		你认识他的弟弟吗？ (Nǐ rènshi tā de dìdi ma?) - Do you know his younger brother?

When we see English learning as a vocation, we are required to change our thinking. To see ourselves as having positive visions of the future instead of negative affirmations of how bad our English is.
