Do you remember that feeling when you were still young, and there was something that made you crazy, like when you were playing soccer, riding a bicycle, eating pizza, playing with someone, playing with a particular toy, watching an animated film? These were wonderful times when everything has allowed you to enjoy what you like. Enthusiasm – an emotion felt throughout the body that, without a doubt, is impossible to hide. People demonstrate it naturally; It just let go. 

Children are naturally enthusiastic. They are struck by everything around them. They want to see and know practically everything. The colors, the shape of the objects, their textures, smells, flavors, everything – it is their enthusiasm that empowers them. This is also applied to successful people. They keep their enthusiasm levels high. They tend to have the same enthusiasm on Friday afternoons as on Monday mornings. This naturally brings them greater success, but most importantly, it drives them to have a positive outlook in life.

Enthusiasm can overcome obstacles in life.

When a person is enthusiastic, he has more energy and can overcome obstacles in life. So the energy you put into your actions has a significant impact on the results as well as the way you feel. It is enthusiasm that inspires you, gives you more strength and motivation. This becomes the fuel that ignites your will and determination to act. It is the result of a mixture of interest and joy, which moves and activates you to seek new goals. In this way, any person who does his work with pleasure, dedication, and joy is already a step ahead of success. 

An enthusiastic person believes in his ability to transform things, to make it work. It is not success that brings enthusiasm. It is the enthusiasm that brings success. A genuinely enthusiastic person can use all his power and be more productive and dedicated to whatever he does. With this, nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm, as Ralph Waldo Emerson said, is true.

Enthusiasm can produce extraordinary results.

Adopting this famous quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson is essential not only in the workplace but in life in general, as it allows you to know your potential and always want to do your best. Whether at work or even preparing dinner for your family, do it with enthusiasm and joy, and find out how much you can achieve extraordinary results. Enthusiasm is paramount when it comes to pursuing an objective because it pushes you to create ideas, make decisions, and execute actions that guarantee success. 

Ralph Waldo Emerson: An American Poet, Lecturer and Essayist

In a series of surprisingly original essays written in the mid-19th century, he fundamentally changed how America saw its artistic and cultural possibilities. One of his famous insights is that nature is within us; it is part of us, and not only in the highest forms but in all its extravagance and wild state. His last decades were complicated, but he never lost his enthusiasm, his passion for writing, and defending his ideas.

Success can mean happiness, peace and perfection. No one can achieve it without going through failures. It sounds easy, but adopting this as a way of life is not simple. Failure has different effects on different personalities. For some, it is something that must be endured. These people consider that only enduring can prepare them for the next challenges of their lives. For others, failure is the end. It leaves them less capable, with less self-confidence, with less resources to handle themselves in life and much less, to face adversities or to re-initiate in any matter be it of the work, love, studies, etc. 

Failure is a part of success, and every failure is an opportunity to learn and correct.

Failure is an inevitable part of life.

People make mistakes continuously. This is an inevitable part of life, and every failure is an opportunity to learn and improve. Failure is a part of success, and every failure is an opportunity to learn and correct. It makes you wiser, stronger and more resilient as you can give yourself the chance to know more about the nature of what has happened. This can lead you to make the necessary adjustments to improve. The problem arises when you label it only in a negative way, but it can bring you conclusions that will serve as a lesson.

A failure may reveal that you lack to evaluate or that you used the wrong criteria or strategies in achieving your goal. It often happens that a failure for some is a success for others. And this means that the parameters of each other are different and not the result itself. When learning from your failures, it is necessary to stop blaming the world, circumstances or other people. You must reflect, as soon as possible, on your mistakes. Do not commit them again in the future, and through this, you gain experience.

Failure is a source of self-improvement.

Failure is a clear indicator that something isn’t right. It’s a feedback that conveys a message that what you have been doing does not work or does not give the result you expected. Sometimes, it is a matter of reviewing your objectives or a matter of modifying the method you have used to try to achieve your goals. One of the best ways of learning is trial and error. It will take time and much effort on your part, but it will be an excellent way to find the right method to achieve your desired results. 

Failure is a clear indicator that something isn’t right. It’s a feedback that conveys a message that what you have been doing does not work.

Accept failure and follow its path to success. When you have achieved success through it, the lessons are worth remembering and a guide to your future life endeavors. 

Bill Gates, the millionaire who learned from his failures

Bill Gates is the co-founder of the software company Microsoft, the developer of Windows, an operating system for personal computers that are most used in the world. Not everything in his life has been a success. He did not have a good start in the business world. He suffered to achieve recognition because his first business was a resounding failure.

In 1970, when he was studying in high school, he and his partner Paul Allen created Traf-O-Data, which was a computer program to automatically read raw data and that allowed to generate useful reports for engineers but nobody hired their services. After this failed business, both entrepreneurs learned to develop a software for computers that they didn’t have access to, and in 1975 they created a new company called Microsoft. What came next was a huge success that has placed him today as one of the richest men in the world.

This famous quote from Confucius signifies the importance of perseverance, patience, focus, and discipline. Perseverance is a vital virtue to develop in life because it is closely related to personal development. You will only improve by failing when you can learn from those experiences and move on. You should have enough perseverance or determination to continue and not give up. If you keep pushing towards your goal, one day, you will achieve it. No matter how long it takes or how huge the obstacles you face, don’t stop. You will get to where you want to be in life. Everyone faces difficulties along the way. Nothing in this life is easy, but that’s why you need to be determined to move on. 

Without perseverance, your growth and development as a person are severely limited, and this will reflect the amount of success you can achieve.

Hard work exceeds talent.

Many think that having talent or excellent training is a guarantee to achieve success. But a person with expertise and knowledge is of little use if he is not persistent. There is no doubt that hard work exceeds talent. No matter what your abilities, what matters is how you perform. In the end, what matters is the result. 

In line with the importance of perseverance, having the right actions to achieve success also matters. First, you must thoroughly understand your reasons to pursue your goal. When you know the reason behind your goal, you get the fuel that will keep you walking, even when people encourage you to quit. Second, you should have the right plan. All plans must be carried out. You are not to create a perfect plan, but of designing a plan that will lead you to success, regardless of the obstacles along the way. 

The life you have dreamed of is in your hands.

It is crucial that you clearly define what you want, focus all your efforts on that idea, and success is assured. Perseverance, a positive energy, allows you to maintain your concentration and assist you in recovering the situation when, for whatever circumstances, the path deviates from what you have set as a route to achieve your goals. When many unfavorable circumstances come along, it is reasonable that you lose your focus, enthusiasm. You can find yourself without the necessary strength to cover another stage of your path. This is where perseverance helps you. 

Perseverance is a force that will allow you to get back on track and recover the road where you had left it to continue moving forward. On the other hand, if you are not focused, then it will be impossible for you to put your effort into doing something since you will have nothing to persist. And if you are not persistent, even if you are focused on your objectives, you will lack the willpower, which is necessary to achieve it.

Combine perseverance and willpower.

All the people who have become successful in their lives have managed to combine perseverance and willpower. They used these combined values to support their intense desires to achieve the goals they have set in their lives. The vast majority of people are prone to throw their objectives and goals overboard to the minimum problem or obstacle that lies ahead and surrender quickly, giving up their dreams. Even so, there is a small group of people – those who end up achieving success – who do not give up and who face any failure they may have, get up, and continue in the race to fulfill their purposes.

Motivation increases effort and perseverance, but the fear of failure guarantees to not achieving desired results.

Act on your goal and stop talking. Start working, stop dreaming, roll up, and fight. That’s what counts. Therefore, speed does not matter on how you deal with things but never stop moving forward. Success is not a horse race; it is a race of patience, perseverance, focus, and discipline. Hence, it does not matter how slow you go so long as you do not stop!
