1 and a halve months to starting of school. Counting down.

Usual usual day again. Nose and throat hasn't been good these few days but, that wouldn't stop me from jogging. After the jog, the nose feels good, the throat feels ok too. I guess it helps. But when night comes, its terrible haha. Well, I'll bother about it in the night then.

Slice of life

Enthusiasm It's often said that in any given enterprise, perseverance is key to success. The premise is that if you do not give up, you'll eventually get to taste the fruits of your industry.

That may be true, but what's going to keep you going? What's going to keep your machine well-oiled and revved-up?

Henry Ford said, "You can do anything if you have enthusiasm. Enthusiasm is the yeast that makes your hopes rise to the stars. Enthusiasm is the spark in your eye, the swing in your gait, the grip of your hand, the irresistible surge of your will and your energy to execute your ideas."

So how enthused are you in your endeavours? Is keeping up the pace requiring more brute force and mental strength instead? How long will that last?

Imagine being firmly committed to your deepest ambitions. Imagine feeling energetic and enthusiastic about your relationships, career, and all the things you want. Envision a future as bright and promising as any you have ever imagined. Imagine working and playing and not knowing the difference.

Enthusiastic people are inspired by great ideas. However, they live and thrive on action.

So how can you become more enthusiastic about the things you do that can bring you more joy and success?
Well you can start by searching your soul. We all have a passion for something. And that passion is what fuels our enthusiasm.

What dreams and aspirations are you committed to achieving during your lifetime? In which areas of your life are you committed to becoming exceptional? What are the biggest obstacles that are holding you back from what you want? What could you do to turn your obstacles into advantages?

With stronger enthusiasm, you will find a positive energy pulling you toward what you want to achieve. Then act on your ideas with confidence. As Henry David Thoreau said, "If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavours to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours."
