The optimist creed

The optimist creed:
    * 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.

For we cannot tarry here, We must march my darlings, we must bear the brunt of danger, We the youthful sinewy races, all the rest on us depend, Pioneers! O pioneers! O you youths, Western youths, So impatient, full of action, full of manly pride and friendship, Plain I see you Western youths, see you tramping with the foremost, Pioneers! O pioneers! Have the elder races halted? Do they droop and end their lesson, wearied over there beyond the seas? We take up the task eternal, and the burden and the lesson, Pioneers! O pioneers!
