THE OPTIMIST CREED
To be so strong than nothing can disturb your 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 about the mistakes of the past, and press on to the greatest achievement 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 don't have 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
