Property is for Sale

You have been transferred to a new city and you wish to purchase a property. However you are unable to find a nice property within your budget. One day, during your search you come across a " Property for Sale" sign board. You stop and follow the directions. You knock at the door and an old lady opens the door.
She tells you that the property is available. You and your wife like the property, location is good and so far it is the best. You are ready to increase your budget by 10%
You ask the lady, what is she expecting? You are surprised to know that her asking price is actually 10% less than your initial budget and way below market price.
What is your action plan?

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.
