Since my childhood I have got so many compliments and also bitter words on my tasks but I would have to say that I have got the positive compliment about my work rather than the negative. Because the person I have related to my relatives or friends and also family members, those are really motivational person and always encouraging me to do the better and whatever the mistakes I do, they always not notice that and just push me to go ahead. Here I would like to talk about a time when I did noticeable mistakes but the person was not noticing that and also gave me a lot of acclaim about that. It was a year ago when my sister’s birthday party was held in our house and before the birthday, before one day of the birthday my mother gave me 2000 money to buy a watch for my sister as she is fond of wearing watch rather than anything like dress or something like that. At the time I was not agreeing to get the money from my mother to buy something for my sister because as I am an introvert person I don’t know how to buy things from supermarket because I can’t talk to the shoppers properly and after that I had to go to the supermarket and whenever I reached the supermarket I forgot what to buy for my sister and mistakenly I bought a dress for my sister rather than buying a dress. So when I came back to my mother at that time she was telling me that it’s extraordinary and it also suit on my sister’s hand so nicely so I should not scare for that. I was really scared because I know my mother that she is really a positive person but I don’t know why I scared and she was really motivated me and encouraging me to not scared for that.

Since my childhood, I have received many compliments as well as some harsh words about my tasks, but I would have to say that I have received more positive compliments about my work than negative ones. The people I am related to, including my relatives, friends, and family members, are really motivational and always encourage me to do better. Whatever mistakes I make, they often do not notice them and just push me to move forward. Here, I would like to talk about a time when I made noticeable mistakes, but the person did not notice them and still gave me a lot of praise. It was a year ago when my sister's birthday party was held at our house. The day before the birthday, my mother gave me 2000 money to buy a watch for my sister, as she is fond of wearing watches rather than anything like dresses or other items. At that time, I was hesitant to take the money from my mother to buy something for my sister because, as an introverted person, I don't know how to shop in a supermarket; I can't communicate with the shoppers properly. After that, I had to go to the supermarket, and when I arrived, I forgot what to buy for my sister and mistakenly bought a dress instead of a watch. When I returned home, my mother told me that it was extraordinary and that it suited my sister's hand so nicely, so I should not be worried about it. I was really scared because I know my mother is a very positive person, but I don't know why I felt scared. She motivated and encouraged me not to be afraid of it.
