The Optimist Creed

                      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  your optimism come true.
To think only the best to work only the best and to expect only the best.
To  be just as enthusiastic about the sucess of others as you are aboutyour own.
To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear cheeful countenance at the 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 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.

                                                                  .        .
