Good morning my fellow steemians @steem4nigeria, today I'll be participating on a contest titled "How I can Handle Pressure"

What do you understand by Pressure

Pressure is the amount of force applied to a given tasks or situation we're into, it can a an intimidation from family,peer groups and other relatives

Sometimes pressure can come in any forms by wanting to accomplish a particular tasks which I consider as self pressure and sometimes it might be from friends. Most time pressure can result in success and sometimes it can wrong deeds because you'll so anxious and eager alongside with tension to do what you weren't supposed to do.

In life I guess there's no body that haven't been under pressure before because sometimes it's something that it's applied when trying to accomplish a common goals

Back then I was still a kid I love playing a lot and sometimes i always end up into problems by spoiling my friends things and even my parents things.

So there was a certain time I spoilt my friend's toy and he asked me to pay back but I didn't have money to get him back him toy , though i fixed a date for him to come and collect the toy .

But I came to realize that I don't know where to get the money from and the only option was to take from my mom's purch which is very bad 😔, so I decided to walk up to my friend that I don't have money to get him a new toy and surprisingly he told me I shouldn't worry that he was just joking about me buying him a new toy and i was so happy

So you guys can see how eased up the pressure I was into which would've lead me on stealing from my mom's purch. Most time it's adviceable if you're having misunderstanding with someone , you can walk down to the person to settle the misunderstanding so the pressure won't result to any bad thing 🧐.

And sometimes no matter what you're doing you shouldn't be in a haste cause everything on earth is under God's time even though you're looking for me ,you should wait patiently and it'll come in abundance .

Pressure can be viewed in different instances depending on the situation,sometimes it can makes you come out being successful and sometimes it is capable of making you do what you never thought of.

Like me while I was still in primary and secondary school level I was always pressured by my parents to study my books so that I'll be among 1st,2nd or 3rd position in my classroom or else I won't get present from them and I'll be flogged so this always boosts me up on taking my academic serious. You guys can see that this is pressure by my parents to make me pass my exams by pointing out conditions to me

On the other hands pressure can mar you by making you do things that you're not supposed to do which can leads you into troubles for instance when I was about going to steal from my mom's purch to pay back my friend's toy I spoilt. And how I wished I didn't walked to him to tell him that I don't have money to buy him a new toy I wouldn't have know that he wasn't serious about me buying the toy. By stealing from my mom and maybe I was caught would've been another punishment for me .

Life is really based on experience and without experience you won't know how to handle a particular situation. I was once a victim of working under pressure.

The year 2023 my phone was stolen and I was looking for a job which I can use the earnings I'll work to get my self a new phone. So there was an hotel that was around my axis so I had to apply to work as a room attendance and luckily I was called for an interview during the week, so I went for the interview abd unfortunately I wasn't given the position I applied ,I was asked to work at the laundry with tge mindset of wanting to buy a new phone i accepted so i was shown around,then the manager a asked me if I will be able to handle the whole cloth in the hotel I accepted and the hotel was so big , imagine the pressure that'll be on me with payment of 18,000 Naira every month

As I resumed with the work , the washing of the bed spray, towels, pillow case, customer's cloth etc on a daily basis was too much for me and it was really a lot of tasks for me and if don't finish washing for the day the manager always threatened to deduct my salary and the pressure was getting worse from both manager and the alot of cloth. So after some few weeks on the work I decided to quit when I was paid my salary

My advice right now to those jobs applicants is that whenever you're applying for a job , you shouldn't just agree to whatever you're told do you should at least have an objections if the tasks you're to do isn't favourable and if the tasks you're to do is to much on you ,you should endeavor to tell the manager that you need a partner and if he agrees you're good to go. Never be displeased by trying to please the manager or the senior colleague in the office, endeavor to voice out when you're not okay with how things are going.

Conclusions

It was really an amazing contest to participate on all to @steem5nigeria for organizing such an amazing contest for fellow steemians to participate on and also share their various ways on how to handle pressure. I'll be inviting some of my steemit friends to participate @bessie2023,@goodybest,@presh001
