| 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 |
