"Be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
"Talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet. Make all your friends feel that there is something good in them and encourage them to let it out.
"Look at the sunny side of everything and make your faith come true. Think only of the best, work only for the best, and expect only the best.
"Be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.
"Forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
"Wear a cheerful countenance at all times rather than a grimace of woe and give every living creature you meet a friendly smile.
"Be too large for worry, too noble for anger, for that destroys your inner peace. Be too faithful for fear; and too happy to permit adversity or trouble to disturb your peace of mind. Be too wise for envy, pride or lust, for these lead not to liberation but to slavery of both mind and body.
"Think well of yourself and let others see that you do so in good deeds, not in pious platitudes or sanctimonious gestures.
"If you give all your time and energy to the improvement of yourself in these and other good ways you will have no time to criticise others; the whole world will be at your feet and the Heavens will open to grant you entry.-
The Wisdom of Hermes Trismegistus
