To be so strong that nothing can disturbyour peace of mind.

To talk health, happiness and prosper-ity to every person you meet.

To make all your friends feel that thereis something in them.

To look at the sunny side of everythingand make your optimism come true.

To think only of the best, to work onlyfor the best, and to expect only the best.

To be just as enthusiastic about the

success of others as you are about yourown.

To forget the mistakes of the pastand press on to the greater achievementsof the future.

To wear a cheerful countenance at alltimes and give every living creature youmeet a smile.

To give so much time to the improve-ment of yourself that you have no time tocriticize others.

To be too large for worry, too noblefor anger, too strong for fear, and too

happy to permit the presence of trouble. “H appy B irthday to Y ou!”
