Personal question · Self-awareness, Motivation
Did finishing count?
Crossing the line and feeling you succeeded are different things. A charity walk completed in last place, a street cleanup that reached only half the block, a certificate earned with a bare pass: each is finished, and each leaves you to reach a verdict on yourself.
The two questions
- 1Tell us about something you saw through to the end after nearly walking away at the midpoint. When it was over, did you count it as a success, and why?
- 2What did that verdict show you about the yardstick you use on yourself, now that you have had time to look back?
What raters look for
- Self-awareness
- Recognizes own biases, limits and emotions, and seeks and uses feedback.
- Motivation
- Shows genuine, sustained drive and a clear reason for choices, including when work is unglamorous.
