What new skills and strengths am I acquiring?
Am I staying ahead? Am I progressing?
How am I enriching myself? When was the last time I tried to learn a new skill? When did I read a book? Have I stopped learning?
Learning should not stop after our college or university. It should continue even after our formal education. We should continue to upgrade ourselves. Get yourself a mentor to inspire you. Be a life long learner. Ask yourself to find out.
• What I have not taken the time to learn about?
• What new things am I learning?
• Do I spend enough time on my education?
• What I need to stop?
• What are some things I need to unlearn?
• Will you be my mentor?
• Who is my critic?
• Who has qualities that I aspire to develop?
• Am I becoming better everyday?
Figure out what you need to learn, unlearn and re-learn. What new skills you need to build for achieving your goals?

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.
