Fake currency is a big problem

Fake currency is a big problem

A person walked in a shop A and bought goods for eight hundred units. He gave a currency note of one thousand units to the shopkeeper A.
Since the shopkeeper A did not have the change, he went to his neighbor shopkeeper B and requested for change. Shopkeeper B gave him 1000 units change and shopkeeper A returned 200 units change to the customer.
The shopkeeper B realized that he was given a fake note. He went to shopkeeper A and asked for a valid note.
Shopkeeper A was obliged and gave a valid note to B.
How much did the shopkeeper A lose?

Deliberate practice improves our success in an interview

Practice is the act of carrying out an activity again and again, to gain mastery over an activity. Psychologist Professor Anders Ericsson coined the term deliberate practice. Talent is important but it is the deliberate practice which makes an ordinary man into extra-ordinary person.

Deliberate practice is purposeful and systematic. You need to have a specific goal, stay focussed, avoid distractions, follow a regular practice schedule, and step up the game in terms of tougher challenges, enable correct feedback to build and gain mastery. Breaking down a task and improving small chunks through regular practice with immediate and correct feedback helps hone the expertise. Deliberate practice is learning by doing and stepping into an uncomfortable zone.
