I saw this quote that was quite inspirational for people that are working out right now:
"Sweat is just fat crying"
If it's not inspirational for you, it's at least worth a chuckle or two, haha
The skill to interrupt
I need to learn how to acquire the skill to politely interrupt people when they talk. I think partly why I take so long for each exam I give is because I just let people talk on and on about their problems. And pretty soon they bring up their children, their grandchildren, their pets, their hobbies, their jobs, and etc etc, until I've even lost track of what time it is or how long they have been talking.
Having never been granted with any graceful social skills, I always struggle through exams when I get a talker. While they drone on and on, instead of thinking of some way to cut them off, I spend my time day dreaming about what I would like to eat for my next meal, or what I should do after I get off work...and then when my mind finally checks in again, I am so shocked the person is still gabbing on that I plaster a "deer in headlight" look across my face and sometimes roll my eyes. At this point, I really pray and hope they did not catch me rolling my eyes at them.
While I'm at it, I should probably learn to stop talking so much myself. When I conclude my exam, I tend to spend a crazy amount of time explaining people's illnesses to them and I even go into detail about them in a pathophysiological way throwing in all sorts of medical terminology that I'm pretty sure half the people don't understand. So again, waste of time.
All in all, long story short, I need to speed up my exam time by cutting out unnecessary chit chat.
