The
Optimist Creed
Promise Yourself
To be 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
our 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 oftrouble.
