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 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 timed 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 criticise 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 think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words but in great deeds.
* To live in the faith that the whole world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you.
