Years ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisor urged, "Babala, be enthusiastic, enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experiences."
    How right they were! Enthusiastic people can turn a boring dirve into adventure, extra work into oppotunity, strangers into friends.
    "Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm," wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. An enthusiastic attitude enables us to hang in there when the going gets tough. It is the inner drive that whispers, "I can do it", when others believe it can't be done.
    We all born with wide-eyed, enthusiastic wonder- as anyone knows who has ever seen an infant's delight at the jingle of keys or the scurrying of a beetle.
    It is this childlike wonder that gives enthusiasic people such youthful air, whatever their age. As poet and author Samuel Ullman once wrote, "Years wrinkles the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul."
    We need to live each moment wholeheartedly, with all our senses - finding the pleasure in the fragrance of back-yard garden, the crayoned picture of six-year old, the enchanting beauty of rainbow. It is such enthusiastic love of life that puts a sparkle in our eyes.
