About This Quote

I began to realize how important it was to be an enthusiast in life. He taught me that if you are interested in something, no matter what it is, go at it at full speed ahead. Embrace it with both arms, hug it, love it and above all become passionate about it. Lukewarm is no good.

Hot is no good either. White hot and passionate is the only thing to be. I realized that I needed to really believe in myself and what I was doing before I could truly succeed.

I had to have a passion for what I was doing if I wanted to do well at any task that came my way.
