Probably many of us enjoy hearing people say that they are proud of us. It reassures us that all of our hard work is paying off and seeing our family, friends and all of our loved ones’ acknowledgement proves how proud of us they are. And well, this phrase may seem not important to many, but hearing others saying that they are proud of us – trust me, it means a lot to many.
While all of us have different goals and different achievements, everyone deserves to be praised for their hard work – whether it’s for finally reaching your goal, finishing school, university or getting into your dream college. It can come from your friends, family or employees – it definitely gives us a boost and makes us feel valued.

Mina inMediumemphasized that we put undue pressure on ourselves and make assumptions about what things we have to do in order to please our parents.
“I need to have good grades then they will be proud. I need to go to a good university then they will be proud. I need to get a good job, or their desired job, or even follow in their footsteps then they will be proud. But have we asked ourselves why we want to make our parents proud? “she wrote.
