Question

Do you often rely on the words of praise or encouragement from peers before you can perform your best?

Answer 1

Never, I rely on myself..to do my best..never need to be Praised...or encouragement from anyone..and I always do my best...

Answer 2

I believe that we ourselves knows our strengths and our limitations. If we know we can do it, we can, even without praise. And anyway, doing something to gain praise is quite pathetic. Things should be done because you want to do it and you love doing it. That way, either you win or you fall, you know that you have no one blame. You gave your best, that's enough

But then again, a word of encouragement is always welcome, every now and then. We all need those... sometimes.

Answer 3

No, I need to encourage myself to put my best foot forward to perform and do my best as if it is my last performance already.
