Enthusiasm Enthusiasm is another important factor in career success. Indeed, it can be stated without equivocation that whenever action and thinking are powered by sustained enthusiasm, success is almost inevitable. When we're enthusiastic, our perception of opportunities abounds, as does our ability to make the most of them. Sustained, steady enthusiasm packs a powerful force that propels us toward accomplishing what we set out to do. With enthusiasm we become wrapped up in what we're doing, and we give it our full attention.
Some people are so lucky that it seems even their roosters lay eggs.
Others suffer an endless string of misfortunes, no matter what they do. Most people, however, fall within these extremes. And it is a fact that many who complain most vocally about bad breaks and how the world is treating them are really showing how badly they treat themselves. Luck is essentially a readiness to perceive opportunities, coupled with a willingness to take advantage of them. Many individuals fail not only to notice, but to seize opportunities that come their way.
