"By providing hope and positive vision,
Optimists bring our the best in KIDS"
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.
