A small fire in the factory

A small fire in the factory

A couple of years back, there was a small fire in one of the well known company's mobile chip manufacturing site.
The fire was brought under control in less than fifteen minutes.
The city fire brigade declared the situation under control before they left the plant. No one was hurt and the fire incident even did not make into the city newspaper.
This fire incident was reported to more than twenty five customers including two big and important customers, which accounted for more than forty percent of plant orders. The customers were informed that there will be a delay in shipping the components.
Will this fire incident impact similarly or differently to these two big customers? If you are one of the big customer, how will you react to this news?

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.
