A lady that was learning how to drive with my driving instructor found she failed her practical driving test many times. Her husband wanted her to go out for a driving lessons then be told she had her practical driving test in five minutes time. Amazingly his plan worked. The lady passed her practical driving test.
What do you think?

too much preparation sometimes makes us edgy and nervous hence we dont get the results we want. while sometimes too, being unprepared makes us very eager to try something hence we excel. i guess its one funny side of life.

Sometimes, unprepared bring the best result. We act unconsciously based on what we have. We just want to get over it. She keep practicing too much and being over prepared. She probably has too much on her mind.
It's like when you need to present something, you make too much preparation and it become a bit unorganized. During the day, you might froze and forget what you want to say.

Hi max, like so many things in life, it can come down to confidence, or having a positive attitude towards things we are doing. Unfortunately, I'm slightly to the side that believes the glass is half empty, which I am still trying to change at my age. Maybe when a few things go right, I'll have more self-belief too.

I had the same experienced with the lady. I was brave at first to handle my driving lesson under my brother's hand. But one time i saw a car accident in our television news. From then on if i seated in a driver's seat felt my legs are not moving and it looks like a stick that freezed. I got nervous. And the bad thing is i cannot drive until now.

Hi friend,
Many times, if you think too much beforehand of something, it will make you too nervous. It used to happen to me before exams at the University. Fortunatly the professors were very helpful as they knew me and I was a very good student.

Each individual requires unique mentoring in order to stay focused and on task, the encouragement of the lesson helped reinforce the ability to pass the test, he was a very good man to identify what his wife required in order to get though the tough stuff, to reinforce what she knows and to keep the anxiety down instead of fretting over an upcoming test she simply needed to go from point A to point B...
My next discussion after polishing up my letter will be about assets, did you ever consider your assets and what your assets should be? Imagine if you could being able to do something anything and everything that you would like to do, if money was not an object what is the first thing that you would do?

It is a sure indicator that the lady was nervous due to anticipation of the test. Amazing that she is not nervous when told of the test only 5 minutes before. Perhaps she does not have the time to react and so can perform normally. I would be more nervous than anything...

It is but natural to feel nervous before and during a practical driving test... i fail my very first one because i let my nerves get into me... i practiced a lot but when the time came it was like i forgot everything i practiced... but during the second time... i made sure i was calm even though i was quite nervous... so because of that... i passed with flying colors...
