 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.
