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 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 expect only the best.
To be enthusiastic
about the success of others
as you are about your own.
To forget the mistakes
of the past and press on to
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
criticise others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger,
too strong for fear and too happy
to permit the presence of trouble.
