**Steem4nigeria Accelerator Contest Week 72: How I Handle Pressure
Hi Steemians. Happy new year greetings from this side of paradise.
Working under pressure is a beautiful gifts that require complete consecration. And not every individuals can be ascribed with this characteristics, and that's why most opportunities are imposed only on the consecrated ones.
To me Pressure is an alteration of the normal human influence. When I talk about Alteration, I'm referring to Changes in a normal human being. A normal human being would love to take things easy. Infact, division of labour can be employed into the perspective of a normal human being.
But when there's alteration in the mindset. It begins to pull aside the normal thoughts, and then activate the thoughts of fulfilling demands within certain limits. When you begin to work under pressure, your actions begin to change so as to meet up the demands.
For instance, if I'm given 80 bag of rice to fill in few minutes. If there's division of labour, and 50 people are employed to do this same work. You will notice that, the job would easily be carried out. But when under pressure, and you're the only one around to fulfill that demand, you will have to go extra mile to get it done. In some cases, you may not go home that day. The owner of the work would be coming the next morning to get it.
Pressure makes you think work of 25 people can be completed with 5 people.
Yes. I've been under pressure before. I was given a mini-project work to carry out. All my partners were working in different industries and had no chance to support me in the search. And I was given few days to submit the mini-project work. This was a heavy pressure on me! But I had no choice than to speed up my ability.
God helping me, before the deadline, I was able to gather up everything and then submit it to the lecturer incharge.
I see pressure as something that makes me. And I learnt that the more I am pressurize to carry out a task, the more ability I have to handle long task in short mediums. This had helped me a lot, inspite of the differences.
Never rush to say what you cannot offer. Most times, some of us are sacked from work, not because we are not doing good, but because we are not able to meet up to the demands of the letter we carry.
I bet you! 100% of companies today have the mindset of employing people into work! But the people itself are not prepared to bear the company demands. And these demands are nothing but a simple pressure. Can they work under pressure if the chance is granted?
You may have the work! But without you not been able to work under the condition you'll be fits in, you may end up losing the job.
So, to all job applicants, my advise for you is that you build yourself to meet up the demands of working under pressure. With these strength, you can be assigned higher opportunities which may end up uplifting you.
