The problem with phone calls is that they cannot 12 a long time, but a note is a good way of record and our words can be read 13 .
So, when you find some people around you need 14 , please write a note of encouragement to bring them more confidence. Maybe, you are not sure what will 15 , but remember Mr. John’s words—making others feel happy makes you happy, too.
