EXTENSIVE READING 01


The power of a positive attitude

The article that I read, said that people must or have to be optimist, because if people have this though everything will be fine, and something that I learn from this article is to being a little more confident about myself; for example, when you have to face some problems and you can´t handle it, some people give up, but in this article helps you and tell you how to resolve any kind of problem.
To sum up, many people think that if something being bad, everything will be bad and so on.      This kind of people don´t like to face or to resolve the problem they just give up, but there are some people who like challenges so last of all they are the optimist one.
