Promise yourself

Christian D. Larson

To be so strong that nothing

can disturb your peace of mind.

To talk about health， happiness， and richness

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 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 face 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.

To think well of yourself and to announce this fact to the world，

not in loud words but great deeds.

To live in faith that the whole world is on your side

so long as you are true to the best that is in you.

要堅強(qiáng)，不讓任何事物打擾內(nèi)心的平靜。

要與見到的每一個人談?wù)摻】?、快樂和富足?/p>

要讓所有的朋友感到他們自己與眾不同。

要看到所有事情陽光的一面，讓樂觀成真。

要只去想最美好的事情，只追求最好的結(jié)果，只懷有最美好的希望。

要對他人的成功懷有像對自己的成功一樣的熱情。

要忘卻過去的錯誤，

為著將來更偉大的成就堅定不移地向前。

要始終帶著開心的笑容，將微笑送給每個遇見的人。

要花更多時間在提高自我上，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(qiáng)，無所畏懼；要心情歡暢，遠(yuǎn)離煩惱。

要自我感覺良好，并向世界宣布這一事實，

不是大聲地說，而要以行動來證明。

要堅信，只要保持自己最美好的一面，

整個世界都與你同在。

（實現(xiàn)對自己的承諾，你的生活也會越來越美好！）郭婕翻譯整理
