THE OPTIMIST CREED
Promise yourself ------------
To be 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 the best, to work only for the best and
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 nobel for anger, too
strong for fear,
and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
