人生、こう生きれば間違いない
宗教もなく、スピリチュアル系でもなく、自分の価値観を頼りに生きているだけ。時には揺らぎ、ブレそうになった時はChristian D. Larson(1866-1955)の「Optimist Creed」を思い出し、軌道修正。私は人生をこう生きる。Promise Yourself1) To be so strong that nothing can disturb youｒ peace of mind.2) To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet.3) To make all your friends feel that there is something in them.4) To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.5) To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best.6) To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.7) To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.8) To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.9) To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.10) To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.シンプルな表現で100年以上経っても色あせない信条。いつもこうありたい。
