FOREWORD

When David approached me to write the preface in his new book, Contagious Optimism, I wondered, Why me? As I pondered the answer it became very clear: Why not me? Ive been positive and optimistic all my life. Im a glass is half full type of guy.

It seems predetermined that I worked all my life with Merrill Lynch, which is noted for its motto, Bullish on America. I remember back in the 1950s when Bob Suydam, a Merrill Lynch partner, asked our class of future operations managers what philosophy we would espouse. He called on me for a response and I answered, Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. He liked my positive attitude and that I lived my life like that in all endeavorsfamily, sports, business, etc.

Since I was a teenager I have been collecting positive, uplifting anecdotes that I try to live by. Examples include I never met a rich pessimist from Bill Schreyer and The optimist finds opportunity in every difficulty, not difficulty in every opportunity from Winston Churchill. One of the simplest and most important maxims for success was presented by Wayne Gretzky: You miss 100 percent of the shots you never take. The premise of Contagious Optimism is the same as many of these uplifting anecdotespositive thinking, inspiration, and motivation but across many facets of life and compiled from people all over the globe.

Years ago a business magazine said I exude positive thinking so much that I even have The Optimist Creed framed on my wall. This creed was written in 1912 by Christian D. Larson. His goal was clear: to attract good into your life and to share good with others. While this may have been written a hundred years ago, it still holds true today and is unaffected by time.

THE OPTIMIST 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 in them.

To look at the sunny side of everything and to 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 to press on to the greater achievements of the future.

To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and to 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.

As humans, many of us have principles we live by. Organizations generally have principles as well. At Merrill Lynch, we have five principles we call the Five Commandments.
