can disturb your peace of mind.
TO talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet.
TO make all your friends feel 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.

too strong for fear and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
