成功来自热情 / 热情导致成功 迈克尔?巴克西
任何大事的成功都离不开热情。— 拉尔夫 ? 沃尔多 ? 爱默生
我们大家都必须工作，做一些我们并不特别喜欢的事情。通常，总有人会告诉我们要更加热情一些。“你将会得到更多的乐趣，”他们总是说。不错，他们的话有一定的道理。 对某事充满热情意味着对某个特定的项目感到兴奋。热情就是要对手头的任务具有浓厚的兴趣。如果你决定学一门新的语言（这无论如何都不是一件容易的事情），你就必须全身心地扑上去。差一点点都会导致失败。
什么是真正的热情？ 在你追求成功的过程中，热情意味着你对公司所做的一切深信不疑。你还相信你的工作是重要的，并且有助于公司的事业。这意味着你愿意拼命地工作以实现公司的目标。
真正的热情是指你早上从床上一跃而起，劲头十足地去对付一天的工作。你对你做的工作和同事抱有热忱。这促使你不断进步，成为一个更好的人。
热情意味着工作使你兴奋，你能够发现新的挑战，并在业务上不断长进。此外，大多数工作都有一些做起来乐趣较少、困难较多的成分。这正是激情实际开始起作用的地方。当你热爱你所做的工作时，把工作做好并不是太难的事情。难的是把那些不太有趣的任务完成得同样好。
热情帮助你获得成功 对工作或对项目的热情通常能转化为积极的能量。也就是说，如果你对一个项目感到兴奋，你就会迫不及待地开始工作，并取得结果。仅仅是期盼工作这一事实就会使你更为多产，更富成效。你会更有效地制订计划，非常注意细节。你会更加仔细地执行计划，力争取得最佳结果。
另外重要的一点是，富有激情的人通常是那些被推上领导岗位上的人。领导人必须有热
情，人们才会跟随他去完成公司的使命。领导人必须激励他的下属。为了激励他们，他需要显示巨大的热情。在领导人身上，这种热情就转化为个人魅力。
对你的工作充满热情显示出你愿意做得更多，学习得更多。这无疑将帮助你从众人中脱颖而出，得到高层管理者们的注意。
提高你的热情 大多数人并非生来就伟大——他们是后天变得伟大的。同样，并非每个人都是那种迷恋工作的热情一族。但是，不要绝望，要变得更有激情还是有办法的。 有种激发热情的好方法就是阅读有关成功人士的书籍，这会帮助你认识到你也能获得成功。
阅读真实的成功故事常常让你看到与你非常相似的人成为领袖人物的例子。在多数情况下，他们都有一个共同的特点：热情。
如果你想成功，你就应该对你的工作、你的生活、你的同事感到激动 14

我喜欢动物 劳拉?A?莫雷蒂
“你觉得你为什么这么喜欢动物呢？”这是圣诞夜我的家人问我的问题。我知道他们期待我会说些诸如“我喜欢动物是因为它们聪明、好玩”之类的话。 可是我却说：“我喜欢动物，因为它们诚实。”
“在哪方面呢？”我的一个兄弟问道——似乎诚实仅仅表现在说实话，而众所周知动物是不会说话的！他的问题引来一阵开怀大笑。 “我喜欢动物，因为它们从不假装成别人，”我继续我的回答，“动物不会伪造感情。” 圣诞晚餐吃过了，礼物也打开了，我们正坐在沙发和扶手椅上。咖啡正端上来，于是我抓紧机会继续说。
“我喜欢动物，因为它们从生活中只索取它们需要的东西。它们不糟蹋环境，不污染水和它们所呼吸的空气。它们不生产大规模杀伤性武器，然后用这些武器去攻击别人——尤其是它们的同类。我喜欢动物因为它们根本不需要那些东西。” “那是因为它们无知，”我的姐姐争论道,“它们不做这些事是因为它们根本不知道怎么做。”
狮子们不会聚在一起，”我反击道,“来商议如何灭绝斑马——即它们的食物来源。我想这并不是因为它们不知道怎么做，而是因为这么做会适得其反。” 他们笑了。 “我喜欢动物，”我继续道，“还因为它们不留恋过去的东西，也不把过去的东西用作现在行为的借口。它们不去计划未来的生活，它们只活在今天，这一刻，充实地，完全地，单
纯地活着。我喜欢动物因为它们比人类活得自由得多。” “那是因为它们不会思考,”我的一个表亲说。 “这就是差别之所在吗？”我感到疑惑。“你是想说它们不以我们的方式思考吧。” 屋里变得异常安静。我很惊讶我的家人竟听得如此专注。 “还有，”我想起了自己成为保护动物权益积极分子的原因，随即补充道，“动物是地球上受害最深的生物：甚于儿童，甚于妇女，甚于有色人种。偏见使我们去剥削、利用它们，把它们当作科研工具和可消耗的商品，还去吃它们。我们把所能想到的任何暴行都用在它们身上。我喜欢动物，因为它们不对自己或别人做那些我们对它们做的事情。” “最后，”我总结道，“我喜欢动物，因为它们不是伪君子。它们不会说的是一套，做的是另一套。它们，我已经说了，是诚实的。动物——而不是人——才是地球奉献出的最佳一族。”
相当有趣的是，尽管我的话十分率直，却没有招来他们恶意的评论或丝毫的嘲笑。事实上，接下去的谈话变成了分享他们所知的动物故事，有关于动物的忠诚和灵性的故事，也有关于它们的幽默和纯真的故事。而我反倒成了听众，只偶尔发表一下评论： “嗳，但愿人能像动物一样就好了。”
我就这样进行了一场出色的论战；我是代表着我们中间最棒的一个群体上阵的。
