[ti:] [ar:] [al:] [by:] [00:02.42]Passage 73 Wake up Your Life [00:06.59]Years ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisers urged, [00:15.00]“Barbara, be enthusiastic! Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience.” [00:23.87]How right they were! Enthusiastic people can turn a boring drive into an adventure, [00:32.07]extra work into opportunity and strangers into friends. [00:38.86]“Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm,” wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. [00:45.86]An enthusiastic attitude enables us to hang in there when the going gets tough. [00:52.97]It's the inner drive that whispers, “I can do it!” when others believe it can't be done. [01:00.19]We are all born with wide-eyed, enthusiastic wonder [01:05.12]—as anyone knows who has ever seen an infant’s delight at the jingle of keys [01:11.46]or the scurrying of a beetle. [01:13.76]It is this childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such a youthful air, whatever their age. [01:22.95]As poet and author Samuel Ullman once wrote, [01:27.32]“Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.” [01:34.65]We need to live each moment wholeheartedly, with all our senses [01:40.57]—finding pleasure in the fragrance of a back-yard garden, [01:45.05]the crayoned picture of a six-year-old, the enchanting beauty of a rainbow. [01:51.50]It is such an enthusiastic love of life that puts a sparkle in our eyes.
