Healthiness
of a transformer is ensured by periodically testing the oil. Similarly,
vibrations of the rotating equipment are monitored to ensure the healthiness
& take up predictive maintenance to avoid damage. Anti-virus software conducts
regular checks to prevent the intrusion of any malware in the computer system. Quality
“tests” are conducted to deliver the “best” products. There are many more
examples of testing for ensuring the best performance of the equipment. Basic
philosophy of the tests is to give a feedback to take corrective actions to
ensure the healthiness. It is not to highlight the faults. We can interpret
this logic in daily life. We see students are scared of their weekly tests
& other examinations. In fact these examinations give a feedback for
improvement in the final annual examinations. So never be de-motivated if you
get low marks in the examination. It’s just a feedback for improvement. The
pathological tests are conducted to identify the diseases early so that
remedies may be suggested by the doctors whereas many patients are so tense about
the tests and the results. Do you feel tense when the doctor advises you for
any pathological tests? In fact we only should ask the doctors to suggest the
required tests to ensure & maintain good health by following a regular
schedule of checking our health. Please go through my post on the health &
wealth http://researchsubbu.blogspot.in/2015/05/whose-wealth-is-our-health.html.
Ultimately we are responsible for our health, our education, our career, our
family and our own life & lifestyle. Thus, it is our prime responsibility
to test our performance with the help of available sources and make necessary
changes in life style to bring out the best in ourselves. “Test” your
performance to achieve the “Best”. Self analysis is one of the useful tools to
check & take corrections to fine tune your performance. There are online
tests available for students. Students may test themselves and take required
actions to comfortably face the tests conducted at school or college. Glucometer,
blood pressure monitor are some of the instruments used by many people to
measure the glucose & blood pressure levels respectively to ensure that
they are healthy. Be proactive about yourself. We should be “Dynamic” rather
than “Diabetic” in our education, career, family life, health & wealth.
This will definitely ensure the overall growth.
