UNSTOPPABLE
When a group of two hundred executives were asked what makes a person
successful, eighty percent listed enthusiasm as the most important
quality. More important than skill. More important than training.
Even more important than experience.
Before water will produce enough steam to power an engine, it must
boil. The steam engine won't move a train an inch until the steam
gauge registers 212 degrees. Likewise, the person without enthusiasm
is trying to move the machinery of life with lukewarm water. Only one
thing will happen: that person will stall.
A. B. Zu Tavern asserts that enthusiasm is electricity in the
battery. It's the vigor in the air. It's the warmth in the fire. It's
the breath in all things alive. Successful people are enthusiastic
about what they do. "Good work is never done in cold blood," he says,
"heat is needed to forge anything. Every great achievement is the
story of a flaming heart."
You may have all of the skill, training and experience you've ever
need. Add enthusiasm to those assets and you will be truly
unstoppable!
