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.
