The Optimist Creed
Promise Yourself:To be so strong that nothing can disturb
your peace of mind.To talk health, happiness and prosper-
ity 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 achievementsof the future.
To wear a cheerful countenance at alltimes and give every living creature youmeet a smile.
To give so much time to the improve-ment of yourself that you have no time tocriticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noblefor anger, too strong for fear, and toohappy to permit the presence of trouble.
O.I.
