Optimist
Creed
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.
