Ernest Hemingway

The real secret of success is enthusiasm. Yes, more than enthusiasm, I would say excitement. I like to see people who get excited. When they get excited, they make a success of their lives. You can do anything if you have enthusiasm. Enthusiasm is the sparkle in your eye, it is the swing in your gait, the grip of 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. Enthusiasm is at the bottom of all progress. With it there is accomplishment. Without it, there is only alibis.


Walter Chrysler (1875-1940)
