TAKE A DEEP BREATH, TAKE YOUR TIME & THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX

There is one thing I love doing which is taking my time. Not that I am sluggish or lazy but I love doing things at my pace.

Rushing things is one thing I don't like or having a pressure on my back to do stuff is also something I hate but c'mon who else likes being under pressure.

The reason why I am writing on this topic is because I notice a particular people or let me just say friends who I gave out a test like assessment with enough time to read through what it is about but surprisingly, I got quick reports on those assessments expecting it would take longer time for submissions.

Unfortunately, going through their submissions proved they didn't take their time to understand what the assessment is about. I believed they thought it was a do stuff quick and submit.

Let me just say, I am using this blog to tell them their submissions is invalid because they had failed to properly read and not to rush things out. I probably don't think they would read this blog and if they do, they would understand.

Let me take this straight and drive to what I want to point out. Most times a test might come direct and easy looking like something that has a very direct answer until you take time to think why the test was given and what the test makers is actually looking for.

Having to take your time, thinking outside the box and seeing a square is not just a square but the joining of 4 triangles (obviously everyone knows this, but just saying) means you can see things beyond what it actually is.

Moreover, learning to properly go through rules and instructions can save you a lot of stress in general wherever it comes either a test or not. I have a story to share which brought up this paragraph.

My friend who went for an job interview who was given a assessment test with other people who came along with him. The test paper contained 300 questions (both maths word problems, English and so on) to answer in 15 minutes.

At that moment, when you see stuff like that, you will skip all instructions to go answer the questions but luckily for my friend he didn't do that. When he read the instructions, it was stated at the top of the first page, read all instructions before starting then the last instruction on the 6th page was given as: Do not to answer any of the questions given in the test script. Tick the box then submit.

When he submitted after reading all the questions and ticking the box. Everyone saw him as a DON to finish 300 questions in 15mins but they didn't know the test wasn't actually the test given.

Luckily for him, he was the only one who got the job because not one of them went through each instructions there was no way to properly answer 300 questions in 15 mins.


From What I have spoken about here, would kindly love if you comment down what lessons you learned?

I remember taking a test like this in High school. I failed it. Very embarassing!

Wow... But you must have surely learnt to follow and read instructions before anything else.

Thanks a lot. Really appreciate the comments.

Now is the time when very few people read long texts.
I also began to notice that I do not always read the texts to the end.
But there was a time when I read several books every day, and a book of 300-600 pages was absolutely standard.
When I started to write on the blockchain blog, about 2 years ago, I did not understand at first where all the people are, why no one reads anything, why everyone puts up quotes, where are the people and where the bots are.
I found out about bots later.
I used to write in order to be read, but lately I see that people do not read.
I became easier to think about it.
Those who need it will read it.
Who does not need - it's okay.

Well said. There are only few people that read people's content. I try to check out on people's post and leave a comment in order to have them come over to my blog to read and leave me a comment as well.
