Questions and Answers

1.

The key factor is not how much pressure there is, but what is going on inside the individual concerned.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
The explanation for the given correct answer is that the statement emphasizes that the internal state of an individual is more important than the external pressure they may be facing.

- A.

Explanation
Courage does not mean refusing to succumb to failure. Courage is the ability to face and overcome fear, obstacles, and challenges, regardless of the outcome.

Therefore, the statement that courage means refusing to succumb to failure is incorrect.

  The pressure of failure
- C.
  
  The fear of pressure

Explanation
Facing hard choices often involves confronting fear and pressure. When we face difficult decisions, we may feel pressure from external sources or from our own expectations. This pressure can be overwhelming and can restrict our freedom to make choices based on our own desires and values. Additionally, the fear of making the wrong decision or facing negative consequences can also limit our freedom. By facing these hard choices head-on, we can overcome the pressure of fear and the fear of pressure, allowing us to make decisions that align with our true selves and granting us a sense of liberation.

- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False

When pressure becomes too overwhelming and frightening, it can have a negative impact on our ability to progress and move forward. This is because excessive pressure can lead to stress, anxiety, and a feeling of being unable to cope with the situation. When we are in this state, it becomes difficult to focus, make decisions, and take the necessary actions to continue progressing. Therefore, it is true that when pressure reaches this point, our progress can come to a halt.
