Enthusiasm Outweighs Experience
Guidance for Reciting
“The worst bankrupt is the person who lost his enthusiasm”，which can be used as the most suitable footnote of this passage. Man can succeed at almost anything for which he has unlimited enthusiasm.
Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience. Enthusiastic people can turn a boring drive into an adventure，extra work into opportunity and strangers into friends.
Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. It is the paste that helps you hang in there when the going gets tough. It is the inner voice that whispers，“I can do it！”when others shout，“No，you can't.”
“Enthusiasm”comes from the Greek and means“God within.”And what is God within is but an abiding sense of love―proper love of self （self-acceptance）and，from that，love of others.

热情比经验更为有益
诵读导言
有这样一句话可以作为本段的精彩题注：最可悲的破产者是丧失自己热情的人。没有热情，何谈伟业呢？用青春的热血，来浇灌事业的花朵吧！
热情比任何经验都更有益。热情的人可以把沉闷的车程变成探险，把加班变成机会，把生人变成朋友。
没有热情就不会有任何伟大的成就。当事情进展不顺时，热情是帮助你坚持下去的黏合剂；当别人叫喊“你不行”时，热情是你内心发出的声音：“我能行”。
“热情”这个词源于希腊语，原意是“内在的上帝”。这里所说的“内在的上帝”不是别的，而是一种持久不变的爱――恰当的自爱（自我接受），并推而及于他人。
口语点津
片语“go the extra mile”源出《圣经？马太福音》第五章“山顶布道”，耶稣劝告门徒：“Whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile，go with him twain.”（有人强逼你走一里路，你就同他走二里。）以此劝诫众人要忍辱、行善，甚至是用爱来回应敌人的恨。如今，to go the extra mile的宗教意义已渐行渐远，现常用来形容“除了份内活儿，还干额外的事。”
