Which number will you bet on?
In our childhood, most of us have played and enjoyed the board games. We also learnt that if we throw a single dice then the chance of getting any number is one out of six.
Let us now visit a game show being hosted by one of our friend. The host invites you to play three dice game.
In this game, three dices are rolled and the sum of all the numbers on each dice is the winning number. You can not refuse to play the game.
You need to choose either to bet on ten or nine. If you get the winning number you win, else you loose. Which number will you choose to bet on?

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.
