What is a difficulty you encountered & how did you overcome it?

Question

If you were asked these questions at a job interview what would your answer be:

1) What is a difficulty you encountered & how did you overcome it?

2) What is your greatest achievement & what steps did you take to achieve it?

Answer 1

The hardest difficulty I have had is when I was told I had Menieres disease. Its not life threatening but non cureable, eventual total deafness with alot of severe vertigo. I lost my job. Since then I have learned to live one day at a time. I learned that I now have more time to ease around and help others, I do volunteer work, I am a much more mature person now then I was then. And more at peace with myself. I guess you could say I can answer both your questions with the same answer. My greatest achievement is maturity, which came from my greatest disappointment. I have been a church goer all my life, now I go more often and I get more involved, and I get more blessings from it, I now have something that I can use to help others who are suffering similiarly. God can make something out of nothing, triumph out of tragedy. He has with me.
