The Optimist Creed ...

Promise Urself -

1. To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.

2. To talk health, happiness and prosperity with every person you meet.

3. To make all your friends feel that there is something in them.

4. To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.

5. To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best.

6. To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about yours.

7. To forget the mistakes of the past and press on for the greater achievements of the future.

8. To wear a cheerful conutenance at all times and to give every living creature a nice smile.

9. To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.

10. To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
