The
Optimists Creed
by
Christian D Larson
Your
own forces and How to use them
I promise myself
To be so 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 that
there is something worthwhile 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 the best.
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 the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful expression at
all times and give a smile to every living creature I meet.
To give so much time to improving
my self 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.
To think well of myself and to
proclaim this fact to the world, not in a loud word but in great
deeds.
To live in the faith that the
whole world is on my side, so long as I am true to the best that is in
me.
Mark Twain
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things
that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the
bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in
your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
Orison Swett Marden
“Success is not measured by what you accomplish, but by the opposition
you have encountered, and the courage with which you have maintained
the struggle against overwhelming odds.”
"Don't wait for extraordinary opportunities. Seize common occasions
and make them great. Weak men wait for opportunities; strong men make
them.”
Dale Carnegie
You can make more friends in two months by becoming more interested in
other people than you can in two years by trying to get people
interested in you”
“First ask yourself: What is the worst that can happen? Then prepare
to accept it. Then proceed to improve on the worst.”
Luigi Pirandello
In bed my real love has always been the sleep that rescued me by
allowing me to dream.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole
staircase, just take the first step.
Zig Ziglar
People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does
bathing - that's why we recommend it daily.
T. S. Elliot
Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how
far one can go.
Buddha
All that we are is the result of what we have thought.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no
path and leave a trail.
Peter F. Drucker
We know nothing about motivation. All we can do is write books
about it.
Nora Roberts
If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you
don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't step forward,
you're always in the same place.
Stephen Covey
Begin with the end in mind.
Hugh Downs
A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances,
but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes.
The biggest mistake people make in life is not trying to make a
living at doing what they most enjoy.
William James
The greatest revolution of our generation is the discovery that
human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can
change the outer aspects of their lives.
