Ralph Waldo Emerson Quote on Enthusiasm and Achievements

"Enthusiasm is one of the most powerful engines of success. When you do a thing, do it with all your might. Put your whole soul into it. Stamp it with your own personality. Be active, be energetic and faithful, and you will accomplish your object. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm." — Ralph Waldo Emerson

Jinxi,

This quote is beautiful and catches the true essence of life.
It is finding in us what brings us true, innocent joy that leads us to our many achievements in life. To let go of fear and what we think we are or are capable of by the upbringing we have traveled through and the many life experiences we have lived through. It is getting past all those things we as people create, getting back to our innocence (return to Innocence-Enigma) when we felt something that made us want to burst with joy and we just did it. Without hesitation or fears in our mind.
This quote is truly inspirational to me and something I will hold on to.

Quick question: What did you get your college degree in?
