2.  Like we said earlier on, new things can be
challenging.
 A person can discover his or her new talents
and this can make him or her gain
recognition and popularity.
 Have you ever tried a new thing in your life?
If not I encourage you to do so.
 It may be an opportunity for your great
achievements in life.

3.  For example, you can be praised for scoring
higher marks in Moral Education by your
teacher and parents.
 This can boost your self-esteem and make
you feel good.

4.  This means accepting that you are unique
or special.
 That there can never be another you.
 It also means accepting that you have
strengths and weaknesses.
 Self-acceptance means you accept that
there are certain things about you that you
cannot change and you live with.

5.  This is appreciating what you have
achieved. You set yourself achievable
goals and make sure you achieve them.
 After such an achievement you give
yourself a pat on the shoulder.
 You celebrate your own achievements. It
is a way of saying ‘well done’ to oneself.

6.  This is when you have a tendency of always looking at
the good things out of a situation.
 You should always try to be a positive person.
 This is a person who always wishes for the best to
happen in life.
 Positive people are always hopeful. For example, if a
positive person fails a test, he or she does not become
discouraged.
 Instead he or she decides to work even harder. Have you
ever felt like giving up on something that you feel like a
real failure! Positive people will not give in to comments
aimed at putting them down.
