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 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 of 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.
– Christian D.
