Chapter 10 & Chapter 11
Summary
In chapter ten, Hallinan describes how people tend to feel overconfident and feel they are extremely good at something when in reality they may not be even that great. This overconfidence can lead to mistakes. A good practice to avoid mistakes by being overconfident is trying to ask for feedback.
In chapter eleven, he talks about how people try to do things the easy way instead of following detailed instructions in manuals. People -like the title suggests- rather wing a situation instead of practicing for it.
Discussion
Chapter eleven is interesting to read because it can help us to prepare better for our class presentations. Our awesome TAs made sure we were aware that we should not wing project presentations, and it was definitely beneficial. It was also funny because we say that people in Mexico avoid reading manuals, that we rather waste time trying to make things work by playing with them instead of reading the instructions and saving some time.
