Hello to everyone in this wonderful community today and in the steemit platform at large. I salute you all in good spirit and I hope you all are doing just great today.
I welcome you all to yet another week of the season 8 steemit engagement contest that has been brought forward by the steemit team in other to improve engagement among users in this platform .
Today, I will be participating in the engagement contest that has been organized by this community team regarding the steemit engagement contest that has been titled "I missed the idea". I urge you all to stay put and enjoy while I drop my entry regarding this contest today.
Have you ever been saying something and forgot what you were talking about, what happened?
Yes, there are times in whereby I do say things but then I'll forget what I was saying. Often times the reason for this is causes by distraction and intrusion by either someone or a natural happening. It is a reflex action that occurs whenever such the happen.
I can vividly recall during a presentation in high school. It was a debate and then I was one of the spokesperson. I started laying emphasis on my point and the judge just raised up his hands and then I stopped but he wasn't making that sign to me and so he asked me to continue.
It was at that point I forgot what I was saying, I then drifted away from my point and I became confused on the stage. For me not to complicate issues, I quickly rest my case not to further affect my point because I couldn't remember what I was trying to prove. It happens most times and this is mostly caused by distractions around me.
When you have been asked a question that you know, but at the moment of answering you got confused, how do you respond?
In cases when questions are asked and Knowing fully well that I know the answer but due to a reason or another I happen to miss the idea, I will try to come up with a similar and simple answer to such questions even if it warrants me to beat around the bush.
For I wouldn't want to keep quiet as though It will feel disgraceful and disappointing on my part. So I will try to crack my head to look for the closest response that may as well go online with the answer to the question asked so that I do not look and feel awkward.
Do you always remember your ideas and everything you have to do, or do you have to take notes?
We all are pruned to making mistakes and as such, I do not always remember my ideas concerning things that I do because I am not a device that stores information accurately even though I have a brain. I have to put things down in writing especially vital points, ideas I do not want to forget as no human is perfect.
Especially in school, I do take notes and put things to write whatsoever I am being taught in class. This is done so that I do not forget the ideas gotten from my lecturer during the teachings in class and this is applicable to everywhere I go, wherever I feel the need for writing ideas down is necessary I do that.
When you answer a question, do you repeat the question as part of your answer?
It depends on the scenario. Sometimes it is necessary to repeat this question as part of your answer to help relate a particular idea with another. Sometimes the question we answer are in a way related to the answer.
It helps to lay emphasis so that one do not drift away from the idea and question asked.
Has anything curious or serious ever happened because you forgot what you were supposed to say?
It depends on the scenario. If it was interview session something serious would have happened and that is to say I would have lost whatsoever I am being interviewed for. No one would want to employ an individual who misses an idea on his interview session for it sounds weird and how incompetent I would look.
Since it was just a debate, it wasn't a big deal. Although I lost 2 points but I was able to come back whole because I made sure my head got back in the game.
CONCLUSION
To miss an idea isn't that surprising for it happens to everyone although not all the time but missing an idea can cost someone something huge. So it is better to just calm down and take a deep breath before responding to a question.

Hola amigo!
Lo que nos comentas que te paso en el debate suele ocurrir, a mi me paso en mi presentación de pasantía, pero en esos momentos debemos saber cómo actuar para que no se den cuenta, o simplemente ser sinceros y decir que se nos olvido.
Como bien dices no somos unas máquinas para almacenar todas nuestras ideas y que no se nos olvide, por eso lo mejor que podemos hacer es anotar de esta forma evitamos que se los olviden las cosas.
Los amigos que invite deben estar actualmente activos en la plataforma.
Muchas gracias por participar en el concurso.

A veces, con tantas cosas en nuestra cabecita es casi imposible no olvidar algo una que otra vez, lo importante es procurar que no se nos haga costumbre. Exito en tu participación y saludos cordiales!!

¡Saludos amigo!😊
Somos seres humanos y, nuestra mente no es tan perfecta como nos gustaría que fuera porque, le suministramos tanta información que, llega un punto en el que esta colapsa y cuando eso sucede, la pérdida de ideas dice presente.
Estar en un debate, exposición o examen suele ser un escenario perfecto para que vivamos el momento incomodo de olvidar algo. Te entiendo tu experiencia porque, a mi me ocurrió en una exposición del colegio.
Un fuerte abrazo💚
