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 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.

- Christian Larson, 1912
