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 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.
