Enthuiam take you further
Year ago, when I tarted looking for my firt job, wie advier urged, "Barbara, be enthuiatic! Enthuiam will take you further than any amount of experience." How right they were. Enthuiatic people can turn a boring drive into an adventure, extra work into opportunity and tranger into friend.
"Nothing great wa ever achieved without enthuiam," wrote Ralph Waldo Emeron. It i the pate that help you hang in there when the going get tough. It i the inner voice that whiper, "I can do it!" when other hout, "No, you can't."
It took year and year for the early work of Barbara McClintock, a geneticit who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted. Yet he didn't let up on her experiment. Work wa uch a deep pleaure for her that he never thought of topping.
We are all born with wide-eyed, enthuiatic wonder a anyone know who ha ever een an infant' delight at the jingle of key o`r the currying of a beetle.
It i thi childlike wonder that give enthuiatic people uch a youthful air, whatever their age.
At 90, cellit Pablo Caal would tart hi day by playing Bach. A the muic flowed through hi finger, hi tooped houlder would traighten and joy would reappear in hi eye. Muic, for Caal, wa an elixir that made life a never ending adventure. A author and poet Samuel Ullman once wrote, "Year wrinkle the kin, but to give up enthuiam wrinkle the oul."由好作网www.hAOzuowEn.com整理
How do you redicover the enthuiam of your childhood? The anwer, I believe, lie in the word itelf. "Enthuiam" come from the Greek and mean "God within." And what i God within i but an abiding ene of love -- proper love of elf (elf-acceptance) and, from that, love of other.
Enthuiatic people alo love what they do, regardle of money o`r title o`r power. If we cannot do what we love a a full-time career, we can a a part-time avocation, like the head of tate who paint, the nun who run marathon, the executive who handcraft furniture.
Elizabeth Layton of Wellville, Kan, wa 68 before he began to draw. Thi activity ended bout of depreion that had plagued her for at leat 30 year, and the quality of her work led one critic to ay, "I am tempted to call Layton a geniu." Elizabeth ha redicovered her enthuiam.
We can't afford to wate tear on "might-have-been." We need to turn the tear into weat a we go after "what-can-be."
We need to live each moment wholeheartedly, with all our ene -- finding pleaure in the fragrance of a back-yard garden, the crayoned picture of a ix-year-old, the enchanting beauty of a rainbow. It i uch enthuiatic love of life that put a parkle in our eye, a lilt in our tep and mooth the wrinkle from our oul.
热情成就未来
多年前， 当我第一次找工作时， 不少明智之士强烈向我建议：“巴巴拉，要有热情！热情比任何经验都更有益。”这话多么正确，热情的人可以把沉闷的车程变成探险， 把加班变成机会， 把生人变成朋友。
“没有热情就不会有任何伟大的成就，” 拉尔夫沃尔多．爱默生写道当事情进展不顺时，热情是帮助你坚持下去的粘合剂当别人叫喊“你不行”时， 热情是你内心发出的声音：“我能行”。
1983年诺贝尔医学奖的获得者遗传学家巴巴拉麦克林托克早年的工作直到很多年后才被公众所承认，但她并没有放弃实验工作，对她来说是一种如此巨大的快乐， 她从未想过要停止它。
我们都生来好奇, 睁大眼睛，满怀热情——每一个看到过婴儿听到钥匙声或看见乱爬的甲虫就兴奋不已的人都会明白这一点。
正是这种孩子气的好奇给了热情的人们（不论年龄大小）一种青春的气息。大提琴家帕布罗卡萨尔斯在90岁时还坚持以拉巴赫开始他的每一天音乐从他的指间流出， 他弯着的背挺直起来， 欢乐再度溢满他的眼眸音乐对卡萨尔斯来说, 是使人生变成无止境的探索之旅的灵丹妙药就像作家兼诗人塞缪尔厄尔曼曾写过的：“岁月使皮肤起了皱纹， 但如果失去热情， 便会使灵魂起皱纹”。
怎样才能找回孩提时代的热情呢？我相信答案就在“热情”这个词本身“热情”一词源于希腊语， 原意是“内在的上帝”这里所说的“内在的上帝”不是别的, 而是一种持久不变的爱——恰当的自爱（自我接受）， 并推而及于他人。
热情的人们同样热爱他们所做的事，而不是考虑钱位权如果我们不能把热爱的事作为正式职业， 我们也可把它当作业余消遣：比如有国家元首喜欢画画的， 有修女参加马拉松长跑的， 有行政官员手工制作家具的。
堪萨斯州韦尔斯维尔市的伊丽莎白莱顿到68岁才开始画画这一爱好消除了曾纠缠她至少达30年之久的忧郁症而她的作品水准之高使得一个评论家说：“我忍不住要称莱顿为天才”伊丽莎白又找回了她的热情。
我们不应该把眼泪浪费在“早该”之类的后悔上我们需要把眼泪化为汗水，去追求“可能”之物。
我们需要以全副身心去度过生命中的每一分钟——在后花园的芬芳中在6岁小孩的蜡笔画中在彩虹醉人的美中找到快乐正是这种对生活的热爱， 让我们双目有神，让我们步履矫健，让我们灵魂的皱纹展平。
