OPTIMIST CREED - INSPIRATIONAL WORDS OF WISDOM

  To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true...

  To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet...

  To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet  a smile...

  To think only of the best, to work only for the best and expect only the best...

  To make all of your friends feel that there is something in them...

  To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future...

  To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind...

  To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear and too happy to permit the presence of trouble...

  To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own...

  To give as much time to the improvement of yourself that you  have no time to criticize others...
