To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.

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.
