“Test” for the “Best”

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.
