The Optimist’s Creed —

I promise myself...

To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and expect only the best.

To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person I meet.

To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature I meet a smile.

To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as I am about my own.

To look at the sunny side of everything and to make my optimism come true.

To make all my friends feel that there is something in them.

To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.

To give so much time to the improvement of myself that I 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.

.....because my attitude is my life.

Nine years ago we were praying and looking for a way to earn more money. We had nine children at that time, (now we have eleven), and we were really struggling. We had used credit cards to get us out of a lot of tight spots, so our credit card debts were dragging us under.

When we heard about Nikken, Dave had a gut feeling that this was what he was meant to do - so he ran with it. Our financial problems have been overcome. It was such a great feeling to write PAID on our last debt and be free!
We needed money, and through Nikken, that need was met, and then some. Our cup runneth over. But, there are so many other wonderful things that have come to us because of Nikken. And these things are precious because money cannot buy them.

Friends - Through Nikken, we have been able to associate with the most wonderful people. People who are caring and loving and who would bend over backward to help someone. We feel like we have made lifelong friends with awesome people. Personal Growth - Through Nikken, we have had opportunities to learn and to grow and to become leaders and help other people realize and reach their potential. A Feeling of Worth - There is no better feeling in the whole wide world than when you know you have helped someone. This business is so awesome! Our products have helped thousands of people in very profound ways, and it feels good to know that we have been part of something very good. It’s fun, and it gets "funner and funner" every day. Opportunities for our Children - First of all, our children get to have parents who are happy with what they are doing and who are at home with them. We enjoy working from our home so that we can be with our kids. Also, they are exposed to people who are positive role models. We are able to do things for and with our children that we could never have done without Nikken.

One example: We have seven of our family taking piano lessons. Before, we couldn’t afford a piano, let alone lessons. Now our kids are practicing on a 9-foot Concert Grand Piano!

We have had some wonderful adventures together. Before we joined Nikken we took fun vacations together, but we were very limited. We went to visit relatives or went camping. Now, we still enjoy visiting our relatives and camping, but we have been able to expand our horizons. We have taken our family to places such as Hawaii, Jamaica, Skiing in Canada and we also took a Scandinavian Cruise in the summer and spent 2 weeks in Norway, Sweden, Russia and several other countries while being pampered on board the ship.

These are only a few of the blessings that have come our way because of Nikken. There are so many more.
