The 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.
