He was unable to articulate and also did not reach out to people for feedback and improvement. He advised students to acknowledge that you do not know the answer to a question during the interview than bluffing which could be easily identified by the expert interviewer. “Try Again” was the motto of his life and he climbed the ladder of failure which took him to greater heights.
