To forget the mistakes of the past
and to press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful expression at all times
and give a smile to every living creature that you meet.
To give so much time to improving 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.
To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world
not in loud word but in great deeds.
To live in the faith that the whole world is on your side,
so long as you are true to the best that is in you.
and to press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful expression at all times
and give a smile to every living creature that you meet.
To give so much time to improving 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.
To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world
not in loud word but in great deeds.
To live in the faith that the whole world is on your side,
so long as you are true to the best that is in you.
