Personal question · Resilience, Motivation

Harder for you than for others

Sometimes a class, a sport, a job or a skill seems to come easily to everyone around you and not to you.

The two questions

  1. 1Tell us about a time you struggled with something that seemed to come easily to other people. How did you handle it?
  2. 2How has that experience changed how you respond when something does not go well at first?
