My Wish for You

My Wish for You


Promise yourself 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.


To give so much time to the improvement of 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.


Christian D. Larson... Optimist International Optimist Creed

I love this version of Ave Maria

from the movie Modigliani
