Promise Yourself also known as The Optimist's 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 worthwhile 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 expression at all times and give a smile to every living creature you meet.
To give so much time to improving 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 proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud word, but in great deeds.
To live in the faith that the whole world is on your side, so long as you are true to the best that is in you.

KAGANDAHAN by Bea Alonzo

Ang tao madaling humusga
Mahirap mabuhay sa isang mapait
At mundong kay lupit
Kapintasa'y laging nakikita

Pinipilit na hindi maalis
Ang tiwala sa puso'y nananatili
Kailanma'y di susuko ang pagkatao
Darating din ang araw na hinihintay ko

[Chorus]
Kagandahan ang tunay mong makikita
Sa puso yan ang mas mahalaga
Wag magpadaya sa nakikita
Lahat ng iya'y lilipas lang

Kagandahan ng puso tapat kailanman
Umasa hindi ka masasaktan
Di iiwanan magpakailanman
Ang tunay na kagandahan

[Interlude]

Karamihan nagkukunwari
Pag nakaharap sa akin nakangiti
Kasalanan ko bang pangit ang iyong nakikita

Kumukupas ang gandang panlabas
Di lilipas kaloobang wagas
Aking tatanggapin ganda'y di sa akin
Busilak na puso'y di kayang kunin

[Chorus]
Kagandahan ang tunay mong makikita
Sa puso yan ang mas mahalaga
Wag magpadaya sa nakikita
Lahat ng iya'y lilipas lang

Kagandahan ng puso tapat kailanman
Umasa hindi ka masasaktan
Di iiwanan magpakailanman
Kahit di yan ang kagandahan
Sa puso lang ang tunay na kaligayahan

Kagandahan ang tunay mong makikita
Sa puso yan ang mas mahalaga
Wag magpadaya sa nakikita
Lahat ng iya'y lilipas lang

Kagandahan ng puso tapat kailanman
Umasa hindi ka masasaktan
Di iiwanan magpakailanman
Kahit di yan...

Di iiwanan magpakailanman
Kahit di ka...

Kumukupas ang gandang panlabas
Di lilipas kaloobang wagas
