The Optimist CreedPromise Yourself:

To be so strong that nothing can disturb yourpeace of mind.

To talk health, happiness and prosperity toevery person you meet.

To make all your friends feel that there issomething in them.

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

To think only of the best, to work only for thebest, 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 timesand give every living creature you meet a smile.

To give so much time to the improvement ofyourself 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 thepresence of trouble.
