How not to make things worse

Yes, it’s true. Please find a way to deal with your disappointment. Preferably a constructive way like needlepoint.

Oh, and make it constructive needlepoint this time. We don’t want a repeat of last time. You should definitely not point your needle at that person again. That is something that we would certainly consider destructive needlepoint.

Instead, today we will give you some things to solve on your own.
