What Brings Out the Best in You?
As a writer, what brings out the best in you? What makes you work extra hard to achieve your goal?
Is it pressure? It works for me sometimes. When a job needs to be done, in high quality, within a short period of time, I find that I strive in such a situation. But that does not mean I like feeling pressured. It’s the worst feeling; I don’t enjoy it but it does help in motivating me to do my best.
It can also be the fear of failure. Who wants to fail? No one, right? I want to succeed in everything that I do, even if the odds are against me. Oftentimes I emerge a victor, but of course I’ve also had my fair share of failures.
In life, we need these kind of things, these are what I call motivations to make us the best that we can be.
