"Optimist Creed"
Promise yourself
• To be so strong nothing disturbs your peace of mind
• To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to everyone 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 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.
