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 that there is 

something in them.

To look at the sunny side of everything and 

make your optimism come true.

To think only the best and to expect only the best.

To just as enthusiastic about the success of

others as you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past and press one

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.
