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.
