Nothing great is ever achieved without enthusiasm. --Ralph Waldo Emerson
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.
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.
Water
turns into steam with a difference of only one degree in temperature
and steam can move some of the biggest engines in the world.
That is what enthusiasm helps us to do in our lives.
