The Optimist Creed

Have you ever read The Optimist Creed? It's powerful:


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.
