Watch and Learn

Yesterday's Sales and Distribution class was in eventful one. While explaining the concept of CAR (Context, Action and Result) my Prof. wanted a volunteer to come out with an example of an achievement and he promised he would help us put it across to an interviewer in an interesting manner.

As usual, the class went dumb and for about half a minute, he was roaming the class trying to get himself a volunteer. So much so that he distracted me from my book reading (Random Walk Down Wall Street) and I got into action.

"Sir, I think one of my greatest achievement was getting my 4-wheeler license with just 2 hours of driving practice". Up went the class, with the oooohs and aaahhs! One joker even said that he did it without any practice. To him - "Kiss my crippled ass! If it was so, you should have come out with it"

Anyways, the point I'm trying to make - Following a series of discussions and explanations, My prof. made me realise that it was an amazing gift I had. The ability to watch and learn. Observe, disassemble, reassemble. One of the attributes of a fast learner. My sensei once told me - the technique to learn good is to learn from a master and to learn first by watching your master perform and put to practice what you have observed.

One of the arts I have thus learned is investing. I enjoyed watching my papa invest in the stock markets and learnt it so well that 2 months into the stock markets, I was already making profits. Interesting attribute, but its the truth.

Observe, disassemble, reassemble!
