be positive

"It was a way for people to just be positive and celebratory about each other, which is what we need when everyone is so nasty and negative on social media."

Spain’s Finance Minister Carlos Cuerpo told the BBC: "We need to be positive here and optimistic that a better deal can be actually closed on that front."

But he is determined to be positive.

"We just tried to be positive and tried to say 'Do you know what? This is what we're doing and you can help because when I'm not feeling well, you can come and give me cuddles, you can be supportive, you can be happy, you can be kind to each other'."

He told the BBC that although he grew up in a single-parent family on a housing estate in Lewisham, his disabled mum always encouraged her children to be positive, and gave them hope.
