CMH, “No matter how well prepared you thought you were there will be surprises- be ready to find them and respond accordingly! 5 points
Yes, nothing is certain in this world. No matter how much you plan or how many strategies you make, there will always be some surprises that would be thrown at you and you have to deal with them. It could be understood with an example, suppose you prepare for an interview. You have asked someone who had appeared for the interview before about the important topics. You studied them. You, in fact, studied all the topics to be sure. But when you visit the interview room, you see your interview is postponed because the interviewer is no longer there as you got late. You see your watch and damn. It is out of order. So, no matter how much you are prepared, there will always be some surprises and you have to deal with them accordingly. Now you suggest the lady settled at the reception if she can arrange a telephonic interview for you as you won't be available for the next schedule. She smiles and confirms with the interviewer. The interviewer says, yes. It is done. You have dealt with the surprise.
