Years ago, when I was looking for my first job, wise advisers told me, “Barbara, be enthusiastic! Enthusiasm will take you 36 than any amount of experience.” How right they were! E nthusiastic people can turn a/ an 37 drive into an adventure, extra work into an opportunity and strangers into friends.

It is hope 42 gives enthusiastic people such a youthful air, 43 their age. At 90, musician Pablo Casals would start his day by playing Bach. As the music 44 his fingers, his beat shoulders would 45 and joy would reappear in his eyes. Music, for Casals, was an exciting thing that made life a never – ending 46 . Elizabeth Layton of Wellsville , Kan , was 68 47 she began to draw. This activity 48 the depression that she has suffered from for 30 years, and the 49 of her work led one critic ( 评论家 ) to say, “I have to call Layton a genius. Elizabeth had rediscovered her 50 ”
How do you rediscover the enthusiasm of your childhood? The answer, I believe, 51 the word itself. “Enthusiasm” comes from the Greek and means “God within”. And “God within” is 52 else but a sense of love – a proper love of self, that is self – acceptance, and the love of others 53 .
Enthusiastic people also love what they do, 54 money or fame or power. If we cannot do what we love as a full – time career, we can do it as a part – time 55 .
