TIME IS UP! SORRY...

This is what happens the first time we try to solve a mystery or a challenge. Some give up while some go ahead for another chance. Those who go ahead, read on....

This time we end up at around 0.3 or so by making some progress because by this time we had had an earlier experience of solving it. Experience always helps and enjoys a greater edge over knowledge. But, this shouldn't help you to decipher that knowledge isn't necessary. Knowledge and Experience do go hand in hand. But, there is something which is of higher importance in today's competitive world.

It is of utmost importance because today people want everything to be perfect and they want it when they expect it. Neither a minute later nor earlier. So, we need to match up with the pace. Our skills, knowledge and Experience would be of sheer waste if we lack in this particular field.

Few people deliver it quite before the deadline while some take hours later , but only few deliver it perfectly. And that is why it isn't everyone's cup of tea. Few people might have understood about what I am trying to say while a few must be still scratching their heads. But i would like both of you, those who got it and those who dint get it to answer a few questions to get it better!
