"i don't want to lose myself. it's a whisper, it's a funny thing. we fold like icicles on paper shelves. it's a pity to appear this way"

*****The Optimist Creed*****

 
I promise:
 
  •  to be strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind.
  •  to talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every one I meet.
  •  to make all my friends feel that there is something in them.
  •  to look at the sunny side of everything and make my optimism come true.
  •  to think only the best, to work only for the best, and expect only the best.
  •  to be just as enthusiastic about the successes of others as I am about my 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 I meet a smile.
  •  to give so much time to the improvement of myself that I 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.
  •  to think well of myself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words, but in great deeds.
  •  to live in faith that the whole world is on my side, so long as I am true to the best that is in me.
