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 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 develop Optimism as a philophy of life utizing
the tenets of the Optimist Creed;

To promote an active interst in good goverment

​to others will advance the well-being of humankind, community life and the world.
