Blindspot: the spot when driving that you can’t see with your mirrors.
Someone steps on your foot:
- Watch out/ look out/ be careful!
Be careful of bad drivers – Look out for bad drivers
** You cannot prevent the bad drivers. All you can do is look for them and avoid them.
Stink: to be bad at something.
Analytically (skip the second a) – ann – al – lyt – ick – lee
I really like the unusual cases because they distinguish from the candidates that are merely good vs. those that are exceptional.
- Because they distinguish between exceptional candidates from those that are merely good.
- Because they distinguish candidates that are exceptional or merely good.
Defy: to resist
A given: assumed, something that you always trust to be so
Ex: It’s basically a given that John will be late for work again.
Ex: “I always knew that we would get married. It was a given.”
What I could then do is FOCUS – What I could do then is Focus

grasp: to hold tightly. (basic definition)
This is a VERY important point that many people don’t quite grasp.
– understand, they can’t grab hold of.. therefore, they can’t master it. (specific meaning)
Customs: when you enter a new country.
Custom: customized.
Because you are “supposed” to. / Because you should.
Ex: I am supposed to go through all the formalities – it is expected; someone is expecting that you have done it already.
Ex: I am thinking I should go through all of the formalities – this is your idea; you are trying to show them that you are eager to start.
Do this work as soon as possible
- You are supposed to do this work – sounds like you’re blaming them.
- Can you get this done as soon as possible?
- When do you think this can be done by? / When do you think this can be completed?
Diplomat: someone’s official job title.
To be diplomatic: to be polite, to make people like you and want to do things for you (diplomacy).
