The Optimist Creed

Picture
Promise Yourself ...
  
- To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.

- To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet.

- To make all your friends feel that there is something in them.

- To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.

- To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best.

- To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.

- To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.

- To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.

- To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.

- To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
