| 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 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 achievments 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 your self 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. |
