Personal question · Motivation, Self-awareness

Nobody asked you to

Some of the things people work hardest at are things nobody required them to do.

The two questions

  1. 1Tell us about something difficult you chose to take on when nobody expected or required it of you. Why did you do it?
  2. 2What did you learn about what drives you, and how has that affected the choices you have made since?
