Talking is a great idea when we have good news to share, or when we are worried about something. When we share good news, it is like doubling the happiness.

We feel safer when we are certain about what is going to happen or we are doing things we have done before. Sometimes when we are uncertain it is a good idea to think about all the things we are certain of. Think: Can you think of something you do now that you enjoy, that you were uncertain of the first time you did it? For example, walking.

- Send a positive note or draw a positive picture to a friend who needs encouragement. - O is for Open. When we are open we are able to share with others what we are thinking and how we are feeling. We usually find this easier with someone we know well. The good thing about being open is that someone else knows how we are and might be able to help us think things through. Think: Is there something that you are worried or excited about and could you share this with someone else?

Some called him courageous, others foolish, but it mattered not to him now.
