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 special about them;

To look at the sunny side of everything;

To think of the best, to work 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 to press on to the greater achievements of the future;

To wear a cheerful couture 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.
