Disappointment

Disappointment is one of the strongest feelings that a person can hold towards another being, or themselves. Personally, when I get disappointed the most, it tends to be centered towards my own failures. I get disappointed when I don't finish a certain task, for the time that I said I would. For example, if I tell myself that I will finish reading a book by the end of the month and I don't, I will feel as if I failed myself. If I don't finish something by the time a teacher or my coach wants me to, I will also feel disappointed. However, in both of these situations, I would push myself to the edge to go above and beyond what they had previously asked for. When they show that they are disappointed in me, it makes me want to go out and do something that will gain their respect back. It makes me motivated to go beyond what they asked for, even though I am beyond. For example, if I had a project that was past it's original due date, I would work as hard as I could to make that project amazing. I would put 110% of my effort into that work to make sure that I proved to my teacher that I could do what they wanted. Disappointment, as difficult as it can be to handle, pushes people to be their very best and to give their all into whatever they do.
