Brighton Optimist Club
The Optimist Creed
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 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.
