To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet.
​
To make all your friends feel that 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.
