"enthusiasm" comes from a greek word "entheos", which literally means being "filled with God". Enthusiasm is an almost supernatural source of power.
The scottish physicist Sir Edward V. Appleton said his enthusiasm helped him win the Nobel Prize. According to him, it was the secret of his amazing achievements. He added, "I rate enthusiasm even above my professionals skills."
Charles M. Schwab, the great industrialist, concurred. He said, "A person can succeed at anything for which there is enthusiasm."
Henry Ford said, "Enthusiasm is the yeast that makes your hope rise to the stars... the sparkle in your eye... the swing in your gait, the grip in your hand, the irresistible surge of your will, and your energy to execute your ideas. Enthusiasts are fighters. They have fortitude. They have staying qualities."
Dr. A. Zimmerman
Have a great and "Enthusiastic" day to all!
