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.
