OPTIMIST CREED...

Promise yourself…
To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind;
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to everyone 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 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 the 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, to noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy
to permit the presence of trouble.



Optimist International adopted this creed in 1922. It was first printed in 1912 in a book titled: "Your Forces and How to Use Them." by Christian D. Larson.
