Pressure in my own understanding is that force that can make someone to do extra things or destabilize someone's emotions and thinking

Have you been under pressure before? If yes, How do you handle it.

Being the first born in my family I have been under pressure due to the belief that every child in the family must contribute to anything in the family.

There was a time I was going through some financial problems I didn't let my family know about it ,I managed the problem reaching one morning my parents called for assistance ofcourse on a normal circumstance the help is something I can render, when they asked for this help I was short of words, I don't know where to start ,I can even remember any lie to make them understand what I was going through. They keep calling and asking for the help. They thinking and the pressure nearly put me into depression. I have to open up to them letting them know my situation at that moment. It was then they allowed me to focus on my own problems.

How do you view Pressure, do you see it as something that happens to Mar or Makes you?

When someone it's pressurized due to one thing or the one it makes the person to become stronger. For instance in a banking sector where the staff is under pressure to get more customers for higher pay it makes the person to put more effort in reaching her target. In this scenario I will say it Makes.

It can also mar someone, let's take this example of a lady who is under pressure to get married after so much pressure she decided to settle for someone she barely know and at the end she was used for rituals .

What would be your advice to those (i.e job applicant) who are quick to state that they can work under pressure.

Anyone can easily say that they can work under pressure due to desperation. On a normal sense working under pressure means giving all your attentions and time to do work. My advice to those who are quick to state that they can work under pressure is to know their ability and power to avoid breaking down and leaving the work for another person that will take over and take his or her time to handle the work.

There are limits to what human can do, working extra miles it not ideal for healthy living . My invitation to this post goes to @waterjoe @pea07 @jasga
