Parking Spot is Taken

Parking Spot is Taken

You have an appointment with a doctor in a crowded neighborhood.
You and your wife have just reached the location and also found a suitable place for parking. Another car is moving out from the parking lot and you wait to take the space.
While you wait, suddenly a car comes out of nowhere and parks in the just vacated space. You are angry. You notice that two heavy looking persons are in the car and preparing to come out.
Finding a second spot will take time and you will miss the doctor appointment. What do you do?

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.
