Reading Chapter 32 - Human Quality: Preparedness "What I fear the most is the scare of the darkness. So generally, many people are scared of the dark. I have been wondering about those creepy things repeatedly during my childhood, so that's why I had a fear inside me of ghosts. I still am scared of a ghost, but I try to overcome them by thinking of funny movements which have happened today".  Tenzing Dhekyong N Pestalozzi World Children's Village

Friendship is perhaps the strongest bond between people. It includes the fun of fights, trust, and lots of mischievousness and standing up for each other.    Friends are something you never know about, They are like your sibling, no doubt. Rajam and Mani and their mischiefs, But they ain't no thief. They are friends who stay in sorrow, But make you feel scared for tomorrow. You might hate them once or twice, They'll make you kill mice! Yes, they will support you in nothing, But they will prepare you for everything! Rishona Chopra Grade VI Gyanshree School

Being brave is simply overcoming your fears. It can be your fear of the dark or of a dog or ghosts or shadows by just doing it. If you are scared, you will fall if you climb a tree, then don't do it, but if you want to overcome your fear, just do it. In the previous chapter, The Great Adventure, Totto-chan and Yasuaki-chan showed great courage. It took a lot of effort to climb a tree, but they did not give up and continued trying. In the end, climbed the tree and had lots of fun! Totto-chan overcomes her fear of ghosts. Of course, you don't have to meet ghosts, but just through thoughts, you can overcome your fear. She soon was happy in her fear too! She thought that if we are scared of ghosts, ghosts are afraid of us too! Rishona Chopra Grade VI Gyanshree School

I am Samruddhi Patankar from grade 2; I would like to share my short life stories of courage. I needed courage when I was only 5 yrs old to speak on the stage but, then my parents gave me courage by encouraging me, I did it. 👧🏻 When I was going to school 🏫 for my meet-and-greet session, I needed courage because I would meet my teacher that time; I got it from myself. I often got scared by something that I didn’t even know, but I always told my teacher. She always gave me the courage, from now I see something scarier I don’t get scared. From then I have realized what courage means. Name: Samruddhi Patankar Grade: 2A Billabong High International School, Thane

Confidence is a feeling where you feel capable. Where you believe in yourself. A thought of confidence could be - “ I can do it.” This means that whatever you have as your goal, you can achieve it. You only have to believe in yourself. That is, you have to be confident. Another meaning of confidence is to not be nervous. It is to express your thoughts without feeling nervous. It’s not that you have to not think before you say something or do something. It’s just to not fear what someone else will think of you. Now I’d like to present a short story on confidence-                                             The magic of Confidence Once there was a young girl who used to live in the countryside. She was beautiful, intelligent, kind and simple. There was only one thing that she lacked, and that was confidence. She was nervous and had lost belief in herself.  One day when she was crossing a farm, she saw that the crops were all gone! Surprised, she went to the farmers and asked where the c
