Promise yourself

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 to happy to permit
the presence of trouble.
