"Enthusiasm makes the difference."

 ~Dr. Norman Vincent Peale

This quote means that how enthusiastic you are about something changes the situation. It can change the way you see something. It can totally change the outcome of the situation rather than if you are whiny and pessimistic. You don't win anything by being pessimistic. It just makes the situation worse because you are looking at the dark side of it. Instead of looking at the dark side of a situation, you should look at the bright side of it. It will make the situation less harsh. You have to find the benefit of it even if its really bad there has to be a benefit. For example maybe you learn something new. You can also learn from your mistakes. Everything happens for a reason . How enthusiastic you are about something determines if you make the situation better or worse. So next time something happens to you instead of saying "why me ? " , say Try me. Success is walking from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm. If you lose enthusiasm you might not reach your goal.
