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 Presidents on

to the greater achievements 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 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.
