Enthusiasm can move men and
mountains !
Enthusiasm is the mainspring of perseverance; it can move men and mountains. Unless sustained by enthusiasm, many people would be apt to give in at the first sign of opposition or setback and stop short of the goal, when, with a little more persistence, they would have found success just round the corner. Moreover, enthusiasm has an infectious quality.
An enthusiastic person easily communicates his enthusiasm to others. He not only generates power for himself, but also for his employees and associates.
He is a human dynamo' who electrifies his whole organisation. He not only issues orders but also radiates strength, hope and confidence to those who come in contact with him; thereby, he keeps up their morale and creates in them an inner urge to give their zealous co-operation and support in the accomplishment of the common task.
A successful manager, who is anxious to pass on his enthusiasm to his subordinates, will be eager to show his enthusiasm for all aspects of his work.
Enthusiasm should be kept alive as long as possible. It is the distinguishing feature of youth, and if you can keep it up, you will retain your mental faculties in a youthful condition even when the body has grown old. It is the duty of every thinking person to nourish his enthusiasm for life and work.
- Andre Maurois
