Promise Yourself 

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.
