"Nothing great is ever achieved without enthusiasm."---Ralph Waldo Emerson
Enthusiasm or passion means throwing ourselves into a relationship, goal, dream, or activity. It means casting aside worries or distractions and embracing instead, the delights of the moment or the hope of success. Enthusiasm makes us feel fully alive. It is one of the roots of joy.Enthusiasm is synonymous to passion.
Enthusiasm and success go hand in hand, but enthusiasm comes first. Enthusiasm inspires confidence, raises morale, builds loyalty! and is priceless. Enthusiasm is contagious. You can feel enthusiasm by the way a person talks, walks or shakes hands. Enthusiasm is a habit that one can acquire and practice.
Enthusiasm lets us engage deeply in things that matter deeply. When we are filled with enthusiasm , we have more energy for our pursuits. Enthusiasm heightens our awareness and mental acuity. We become more physically adept. Enthusiasm feels risky because it exposes us to possible ridicule, rejection, or failure, but it also fills us with excitement and hope. Enthusiasm often is contagious, which makes it a great leadership quality Our enthusiasm is echoed in the hope and energy we stir around us.
Many decades ago, Charles Schwab, who was earning a salary of a million dollars a year, was asked if he was being paid such a high salary because of his exceptional ability to produce steel. Charles Schwab replied, "I consider my ability to arouse enthusiasm among the men the greatest asset I possess, and the way to develop the best that is in a man is by appreciation and encouragement."
Live while you are alive. Don't die before you are dead.
Enthusiasm and desire are what change mediocrity to excellence.
