Lesson 9: Express yourself in a Positive way
Following with the recommendations and exercises about assertiveness:
- Do not depend on the opinion of others. Whatever you say, if you said it consciously and searching the best, even if you are mistaken, it will be right.
- Express your emotions and ideas in a positive way, without trying to “impose” anything, but looking for your rights.
Exercises
- Look for that occasion in which you have to express your own opinion, expressing your emotions and ideas in a positive way, without discussing, but asserting yourself.

BE GRATEFUL
STORY OF FARMER AND FORTUNE
Esopo
A farmer was ploughing, when he found a treasure and full of happiness went to show it everyone.
When Fortune saw that the farmer was not grateful said: This stupid man does not thanks me for the benefit I have given him, while for so long he has asked me for it and made me promises and vows to favour him.
Remember that the treasure maybe anywhere and you can find it at any time. And that you have to be grateful for it.
Remember last treasure you have found.
