Chapter 29 Enthusiasm is a must

In 1907, soon after Frank, who later became a famous life insurance salesman in the United States, entered the professional baseball world, he suffered the biggest blow in his life because he was fired.His movements are weak, so the team's manager intends to let him go. The team manager said to him: You are so slow, how can it be like you have been in the stadium for 20 years?Frank, no matter where you go or do anything after you leave here, if you don't pick up your spirits, you will never have a future. Originally, Frank's monthly salary was $175. After leaving his original team, he joined the Atlanta team, and his monthly salary was reduced to $25.With such a small salary, Frank certainly has no enthusiasm for doing things, but he is determined to try hard.After about ten days, an old player named Tinney introduced Frank to another team.

On the first day of the new team, Frank's life has undergone an important change.Since no one there knew of his past, Frank was determined to become the most enthusiastic player in New England.For this to happen, of course action must be taken. As soon as Frank came on stage, it seemed that his whole body was electrified.He threw the high-speed ball with such force that the hands of those who caught it were numb.Once, Frank rushed to third base with a strong momentum.The third baseman was petrified, missed the ball, and Frank stole the base. At that time, the temperature was as high as 39 degrees Celsius. Frank ran up and down the court, and he was likely to suffer from heat stroke. However, with the support of extraordinary enthusiasm, he persevered.The results of this enthusiasm have been astonishing.

When Frank read the paper the next morning, he couldn't be more excited. The newspaper said: The newly joined player is no different from a thunderball. The whole team is affected by him and is full of vitality.Not only did they win, but it was the best game of the season. Because of his enthusiasm, Frank's monthly salary increased sevenfold from twenty-five dollars to one hundred and eighty-five dollars.For the next two years, Frank worked as a third baseman, earning thirty times his salary.why?Frank himself said: This is because of a passion, there is no other reason. Later, Frank injured his arm and had to give up playing baseball.Then, he worked as an insurance agent for Fitley Life Insurance Company. He had no achievements for more than a year, so he was very depressed, but later he became enthusiastic again, just like playing baseball back then.

Later, he was a big hit in the life insurance industry.Not only was he asked to write articles, but he was also asked to speak about his own experience. He said: I have been in sales for fifteen years.I have seen many people whose income has multiplied because of their enthusiasm for their work.I've seen others, too, cornered by lack of enthusiasm.I firmly believe that only a passionate attitude is the most important factor for successful sales. ★Life is delicious★ If enthusiasm can have such amazing effects on anyone, it should have the same effect on you and me.Enthusiasm is a necessary condition for doing anything.We should all be convinced of this.Anyone who meets this condition can achieve success, and his career will surely flourish.
