{Something a Little Different}

I was doing a little blog surfing today, and happened upon a friends blog that had this creed posted in her sidebar.  I loved it so much that I stole it from her (I think she'll forgive me though, seeing as she acquired it from someone else:).  I was going to put it in my sidebar as well (and still will), but sometimes those things get overlooked, so I decided to post it here first.

THE OPTIMIST CREED

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 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.
