What will you do as a parent?
Every parent wants his child to be a successful person.
Our parents too wanted us to be successful and now we also wish the same for our children, that they do well in their life.
As a parent, we try to impart right lessons to our children. At times we succeed and other times we fail to impart the right lessons.
Read the following situation and see how will you handle this situation as a parent.
Summer holidays are over and schools are opening tomorrow. You are having dinner when your child announces that he had to finish a project report which needs to be submitted tomorrow.
When you ask why he did not do earlier, he has no answer since he was lost in the joyous freedom of holidays.
What will you do now as a parent?

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.
