Be Optimistic

Ralph Waldo Emerson said…
"Go put your creed in your deed"
OPTIMIST’S CLUB 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 of value in them!
To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true!
To think only the best, to work for only the best, 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 there is no time to criticize others!
Be too large for worry, to noble for anger and too strong for fear and too happy to permit the presence of trouble!
