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.
