Well known singer

Well known singer

In an experiment, you are asked to wear a t-shirt with a picture of well known singer.
Later on you are asked to join another group of people in a room, who are busy filling out questionnaire. After a minute, you walk out of the room and you are asked to guess how many people would be able to name the picture on your t-shirt.
Guess the percentage.

Probably zero! As all the people in the room would have been busy filling out their questionnaires, it is highly doubtful that they would notice me or my T-shirt.

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.
