Description
Enthusiasm is the feeling of setting one’s own world ablaze without noticing when it catches fire. Often loudly proclaimed, yet too frequently it remains nothing but a show. In organizations it is heralded as a panacea, but in truth it is an obsolete prescription. Universally desired, but when unfollowed by results, it collapses into mere noise.
