Promise Yourself
Christian D Larson

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 special 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.

【中文譯文】

承諾自己

——克里斯蒂安·拉爾森

要堅強，不讓任何事物煩擾內心的平和。

要與每一個見到的人談論健康、快樂和富足。

要讓所有的朋友感到他們是與衆不同的。

要看一切事情的光明面，讓積極樂觀瀰漫。

要只去想最美好的事情；只追求最美好的結果；

只懷有最美好的希望。

要對他人的成功抱有像對自己的成功一樣的熱情。

要拋卻曾經的錯誤，爲將來更偉大的成就堅定不移地前進。

要永遠面帶愉快，要用微笑迎接每一個生命。

要多花時間在自我提升上，這樣就不會有時間去批評他人。

要胸懷寬廣，心無掛慮；要品行高尚，不怨不怒；

要身心堅強，無所畏懼；要心情歡暢，遠離煩惱。
