&lt;p>The guy was supposed to write an exam. Part of the exams included an essay — which was around 5000 to 8000 words for 30 minutes to an hour (30 min – 1 hr).

But as an exercise, he tried writing about himself for an hour and could not even finish 250 words on himself, a topic he had known all his life. How is he supposed to write about a random topic he didn’t participate in, that he never read about, for an hour?&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>Epiphany</title><link>https://jamesteddy.com/posts/epiphany/</link><pubDate>Thu, 16 Jan 2025 14:43:37 +0100</pubDate><guid>https://jamesteddy.com/posts/epiphany/</guid><description>&lt;h1 id="epiphany">Epiphany&lt;/h1>
