“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 the best,
to work only for the best,
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 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.
To think well of yourself
and to proclaim this fact to the world,
not in loud words but
great deeds.
To live in faith that the
whole world is on your side
so long as you are true
to the best that is in you.”
