Enthusiasm is what happens to a man when on taking invoice, he discovers that his Heart and Head and Determination have finally welded into and become a part of “the Main Chance.”

Enthusiasm is a process — not merely a condition.

Most everybody has a Head and Heart and Determination — but it’s the folks that have sufficient sense to get these together in the same spot at the same time for the same purpose that start things and move on the progress of the times.

Enthusiasm is the spark that starts the Action that moves the Man that finds the Cows and brings them home. Enthusiasm is what makes a fellow “get there.”

Get Enthusiasm and you will “steam on.” Nobody can stop you.

Enthusiasm is what goes through stone walls, bores miles under great rivers, wins battles and lays out cities and towns and nations. Enthusiasm changes maps and makes History possible.

You at your desk, at your plow, at your broom, at your axe, at your bat, at your pen-— you, no matter who or where you are — take heart and hope and — Enthusiasm.

For Enthusiasm starts things, shapes things — does things.

Start to-day to mix Enthusiasm in your blood.

Then keep it there!
