1. EXPLORE
In our everyday life, we encounter people who may challenge our ability to
keep our cool, maintain our composure, or stretch our patience. We react or
respond differently to every situation, depending on some factors that may
influence such reaction or response. Sometimes, we may not be in conflict
with another person but with our own selves. We may have felt like the world
caved in on us because of a problem or situation that we could hardly resolve
or get away from especially amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, we
feel depressed because we could barely decide on the best thing to do about
such problematic situation. Nonetheless, in the process, you will learn how to
express your personal ideas or opinions so as to convince others to accept
your standpoint on certain issues.
