QUOTE

"Every great and commanding movement in the annals of the world is the triumph of enthusiasm. Nothing great was ever achieved without it."

Ralph Waldo Emerson, 19th Century American author and poet.

INSIGHT

To get somewhere, you need power, an engine, a powerhouse to deliver energy.

So many people these days are pessimistic, negative or critical. Exposing your ideas and dreams to this kind of attitude can take all the energy out of them.

Why not keep them secret for a while? A secret is a powerful thing.

Look at people around you who are enthusiastic. Being enthusiastic doesn't mean NEVER being critical; it simply means knowing WHEN to be critical.

A new baby needs to be looked after and cosseted before it is exposed to the world - the same is true of an idea.

Keep a new idea within you for a while and you will amaze yourself at your abilities and creativity. Tell the world too early and they may pull it apart in front of your eyes.

QUESTION

Who do you know that seems to be happy and enthusiastic? Or who achieves a lot? How do they do it? If you don't know, why not ask them?
