1POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY
Situation One
I remember the time when you provided guidance to us in the organization when we were
failing to meet the targets in a proper manner. We were working in a hospitality industry where
we were in a constant pressure to meet the expectations of the customers. The food prepared had
to be of the best quality and agreeable to the taste of the customers. Moreover, the service of the
hotel had to be extremely well or else the customers were left disgruntled. Under this situation, it
was your words of encouragement and the patient guidance that motivated us to work in an
efficient manner. You had asked us to meet the required standard of ethics of the organization as
it was the basic requirement of the customers. Moreover, you encouraged us to be patient while
dealing with the customers as our wages are dependent upon them. Moreover, you guided us in
an effective manner so that the food prepared by us is good in quality and appeal to the taste
palate of the customers. Ultimately, the customers were satisfied, thanks to you.
Situation Two
I remember the time when you provided valuable help to our neighbors when she was in
distress due to the death of her beloved husband. The happy couple living in our neighborhood
was known for their love towards each other and for their generous and charming personality.
Everyone in the neighborhood knew them and loved them for who they were. However, a recent
tragedy struck the couple whereby the husband died horribly in a car accident. He was brought to
the nearby hospital immediately but his condition was highly unstable. It was during this time
that you stepped up and provided valuable emotional support to the elderly woman. I remember
the nights, how you stayed awake with the old lady and consoled her by telling your childhood
stories. You tried your best to keep her happy, even after the death of the husband. You went to

her house on a regular basis even when you had work, only to ensure that she had eaten her
meals. The old lady began to recover her mood due to your efforts.
Situation Three
I remember the time when you provided financial aid to a poor boy by enrolling him in a
nearby school and even bought his the required course textbooks. The boy had no one to turn to
as he was an orphan who ran away for the orphanage. You took pity on the boy and decided to
provide him with the basic education so that he may be able to fend for himself as he grows
older. This was a brave and commendable step on your part as you went to the extent to uphold
the basic human right of an individual. You did not have funds for yourself during that time as
you were still in search of a job and yet you decided to help him. Ultimately, the child became
educated and now he can earn his own bread.
