Add enthusiasm into what you do today and see what happens. Take the advice of philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson: enthusiasm = greatness.

From the Greek adjective enthous, meaning “possessed or inspired by God,” enthusiasm means living life with passion and zeal. Showing eager interest. Speaking with honest fervor. Putting your whole self out there in all your rich colors of beauty.

“Vitality!” exclaimed dynamo actress Katharine Hepburn. “That’s the pursuit of life, isn’t it?”

Enthusiasm born of confidence generates more confidence—and credibility. “Enthusiasm moves the world,” claimed former English Prime Minister A.J. Balfour. Relationships are forged, learning deepens, and teams thrive through the spirit of enthusiasm.

Don't underestimate its power—enthusiasm is your personal energy stamp. It's contagious and transformative.

On stage, Bruce Springsteen channels red-hot enthusiasm into every show, radiating pure joy through performance. Writer Tennessee Williams once said it simply: “Enthusiasm is the most important thing in life.”
