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 like 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 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 the greater achievements of the future
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living person 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, and too strong for fear, and to be happy to permit the presence of trouble
