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 like 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 the greater achievements
of the future.

To wear a cheerful countenance at all times
and give every living person 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,
and too strong for fear,
and too happy to permit
the presence of trouble.
