The Optimist Creed

[theNightingale]

We all know what that is? Vaguely? Well- I just found out my great- (great-?) uncle wrote it. I'm related to Christian D. Larson, wtf.

There is your random piece of information- and mine- of the day. :shock:

[Maulden]

That's cool. ^_^

Have a cookie. :mrgreen:

[Aimless]

Tell me more about this creed, and this dude!

[Ariella]

I found this by a round-about way from Wikipedia:

The Optimist Creed

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.

Y'know what the difference between an optimist and a pessimist is?

A pessimist looks at horse shit and says "Eww, Shit!", an optimist looks at it and says "There must be a horse around here".

[Aimless]

I'm a better optimist than that!

[pkgirl]

an optimist thinks its half full
a pessimist thinks that it is half empty
a realist thinks that it is full of both air and drink
a dreamer wishes that it was entirely full

but i just think... mmmm drink!!!

And an engineer thinks the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

And an Anisha stares blankly at the cup before coming to the conclusion that she drank the other half.

and the feminist says "typical man! drinks MY drink before I can get to it! All of mankind sucks!"
