  7. be able to promote calm and optimistic states that promote the achievement of goals; • recover from setbacks and persist in the face of difficulties; • work and play cooperatively; • compete fairly and win and lose with dignity and respect for competitors; • recognise and stand up for their rights and the rights of others; • understand and value the differences and commonalities between people, respecting the right of others to have beliefs and values different from their own.
