It's not uncommon for people with bright eyes and a bunch of ideas to be considered weirdos. They are ready to exceed the norm at the plant, to stay for the sake of brainstorming with colleagues on Friday evening, to speak at meetings with motivational speeches. They are always inspired, constantly demonstrate energy and passion for business. Their example is contagious, they literally want to be fed as a generator. Enthusiasts - the whole world is based on them.
How to know the enthusiast
It's not hard to get to know the enthusiast:
- wakes up with a sense of joy in waiting for a new experience;
- grasps at promising opportunities;
- is not afraid to meet the challenges of destiny (or high authorities);
- blossoms when his dreams come true;
- is ready to help even before they ask for it (sometimes it looks annoying, but that's what the enthusiast is all about);
- he has a lot of necessary and useful connections, he rarely eats alone;
- does not hide his beliefs, his views on life.
Is this a portrait of one of your colleagues? Or an illustration of your desired future? Enthusiasm is not just about work. It is a whole philosophy, a special sense of reality. Such a person is a maximalist in everything. He is ready to take on more responsibility, time and again, more and more tasks. He is open to development. The word "yes" is one of his priorities in his vocabulary.
The word consists of two letters
After the release in 2008 of the movie "Always Say Yes" on the big screen, the number of people willing to go on personality experiments has increased by a multiple. Virtual diaries began to fill up with notes about how A. decided to answer any requests all day long, and B. had already received this experience and together with him a huge pleasure. C., on the contrary, shares ambiguous and spicy situations, which resulted in his short two-letter word.
One way or another, these attempts to change his life for at least 24 hours have a strong shake. Experience can be drawn from both positive and negative experiences. But at least it will not be like the usual grey everyday life. Conclusion: You have to say yes more often!
- YES - a smile in the morning and cheerfulness without caffeine;
- YES - good mood at work not only on Friday;
- YES - to a good deed done selflessly;
- YES - a response to a friend's call to help repair or tow a car;
- YES - parents' request to bring groceries.
It is great if responsiveness and hospitality will become a habit. This will allow us to look at the world in a new way. As if the windows were finally washed, and instead of dirty divorces and rusty roofs of neighboring houses, the blue sky, free-flying birds and endless space for dreams to come true became visible.
It is never too late to learn
Enthusiasm and initiative. Two qualities that help you learn new things. Business coaches say, "When you reach the limit of one, you have to start learning another. And they add: "Enthusiasm is the highest-paid quality in the world. So why not add a little more to the price? Grow up in the eyes of your employer and your own? John Rockefeller was willing to pay more to enthusiasts than to people who claimed to know everything.
To start building enthusiasm, the first thing to do is to learn what is not taught in universities and in professional development courses.
Believe in people
Judiciousness and suspicion cannot be used as an aid to developing inner self-confidence.
Survival of a skeptic
A man stops developing when there's nothing more to surprise him. This applies not only to people of creative professions, but also to businessmen who constantly need fresh ideas.
Smile
Look at yourself in the mirror: your expression wrinkles from laughter or dull grimaces? If the latter, change the expression of your face immediately.
Don't be afraid of barriers
Franklin Roosevelt ran America in a wheelchair. Beethoven wrote beautiful music he had never heard of. Entrepreneurs with disabilities cooperate and create aid funds, invent alternative means of transportation.
Lighting up followers
Perhaps all enthusiasts are natural leaders. They have no problem infecting other people with their ideas.
The one who does not give up learning throughout his life does not follow the beaten path. He paves the way himself. He cuts through the window of opportunity. He gets food for thought. Attracts supporters. Confident in himself and never bored. The enthusiast's brain does not hibernate, and his life is full of adventures, interesting meetings, and brilliant victories.
Don't let your soul be lazy
The psychological portrait of the enthusiast can be drawn, based on the traits of successful public figures, successful businessmen. All these people are passionate about what they do. Their business is not working from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. It's their whole lives. Enthusiasts set real goals and move systematically to achieve them. They give a considerable part of their time to self-education. They like to think outside the box. Dale Carnegie called for this. This is what modern coachmen help to achieve.
