Describe a difficult task that you completed at work/study that you felt proud of

Part 3 Follow Up Questions
1. What are the things that make people feel proud?
I think it depends upon their age. In our childhood or youth, completing difficult or challenging tasks definitely makes us proud. For example, achieving a top rank in a competition, securing admission in a good top ranked university or winning a sports match. However, as people grow older, it is more about their children’s achievements and they feel proud when their children achieve things in life.
2. Do people often feel proud of themselves when they complete a difficult task?
Of course, yes. I think human beings thrive on a sense of achievement. We feel proud when we complete difficult tasks because we know that many others wouldn’t have been able to do them. Also, completing difficult tasks means that our efforts did not go waste and seeing our efforts bear fruits is one of the happiest feelings in the world.
3. What challenges do young people face today?
Young people face many challenges today but the biggest is certainly competition. Today, working hard is not enough and many fail despite working hard because of the increasing competition. The second challenge is inflation and high prices, which means affording things is challenging. Finally, today the youth have more responsibilities. Due to increased life expectancy, they not only have to take care of their children, but also their parents and grandparents. This means they have little time for relaxation or hobbies.
4. How do young people handle difficult or challenging tasks?
I think the internet has made life a lot easier in this regard. There is ample information available on websites like Google and Youtube on how to deal with problems. Moreover, young people also take advice from their parents and grandparents, while dealing with problems.
5. What kinds of rewards do people receive from work?
It depends upon the company. Firstly, in some companies there are performance-based bonuses and incentives, which people get if they achieve the set target. Secondly, people get motivation in the form of employer appreciation or awards like employee of the month, which are hung on the wall for all to see.
6. What are the most difficult jobs that people do?
There are many difficult jobs but I think the most difficult job is working in the armed forces, the army, the navy or the airforce because they have the greatest risk to life. Another job that I think is difficult is that of being a doctor or nurse as even small mistake can cost the life of others.
