Enthusiasm
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
The most inspiring quote I've ever read on the subject of politics comes out of this book. It goes like this: "The longer I live, the more I respect enthusiasm. There is no perfection of technique that will substitute for the lift of spirit that enthusiasm produces. Some people keep their zest until the day they die. They keep their sense of curiosity. They reach out. They enjoy. They risk failure. They may even allow themselves some moderately cheerful expectations for the time ahead. Such expectations may be greeted with skepticism in the current climate, but we should welcome the buoyance from which they spring. Otherwise, in our world weary wisdom, we shall be unresponsive to the challenges that keep societies alive and moving." This little book is packed full of good reasons why we ought to care about what is going on around us. It will make a believer out of you!
