Optimists’ Club Creed
I promise myself….
To be strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person I meet.
To make all my friends feel there is something in them.
To look at the sunny side of everything and make my optimism come true.
To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the
best.
Optimists’ Club Creed
(Continued)
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as I am about
my 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 creature I
meet a smile.
To give so much time to the improvement of myself that I 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.
Can you connect all nine dots
with four straight lines
without raising your pencil?

#7 Failure is Never Final
Success is Never Ending

ways that won't work.
