Stages of learning

Last week I got to know a good funda regarding learning any skill. According to this, the learning of any skill happens in four phases -

1. Unconscious Incompetence - In this stage, you are not aware of the fact that you are lacking in a skill.
2. Conscious Incompetence - You progress to this stage when you realize that you lacking in the skill and you need to do something about it. In my opinion, this is the most difficult stage to overcome. Mainly because of inherent laziness to take effort for learning new skills.
3. Conscious Competence - You reach this stage by learning the skill in which you were lacking. This stage is good to be in because you are now aware that the skill is with you.
4. Unconscious Competence - I call this stage "Nirvana". This is the stage in which you are not even aware about a skill, but you are executing the skill with extreme perfection.

Coke Vs Pepsi Spoof Ad war

They are at it again. The spoof ad war between coke and Pepsi has resulted in new set of ads. I don't understand why they do this when their original ads are so brilliant. These companies use their sister brands to fight out their rivalry.

First Pepsi started their campaign with Yougistan Ads featuring SRK, Ranbeer and Deepika.


Coke used their brand Sprite to make spoof of the pepsi ad.


Pepsi decided to retaliate by making spoof of the Thums Up ad featuring AK.

Here is the original ad. (On completely unrelated note, I suspect the car he is driving is Ford Mustang, my favourite.)


And the spoof.
