it is this childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such a youthful air, whatever their age.at 90, cellist pablo casals would start his day by playing bach. as the music flowed through his fingers, his stooped shoulders would straighten and joy would reappear in his eyes. music, for casals, was an elixir that made life a never ending adventure. as author and poet samuel ullman once wrote, "years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul."
how do you rediscover the enthusiasm of your childhood? the answer, i believe, lies in the word itself. "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.enthusiastic people also love what they do, regardless of money or title or power. if we cannot do what we love as a full-time career, we can as a part-time avocation, like the head of state who paints, the nun who runs marathons, the executive who handcrafts furniture. elizabeth layton of wellsville, kan, was 68 before she began to draw. this activity ended bouts of depression that had plagued her for at least 30 years, and the quality of her work led one critic to say, "i am tempted to call layton a genius." elizabeth has rediscovered her enthusiasm.we can’t afford to waste tears on "might-have-beens." we need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after "what-can-be." we need to live each moment wholeheartedly, with all our senses — finding pleasure in the fragrance of a back-yard garden, the crayoned picture of a six-year-old, the enchanting beauty of a rainbow. it is such enthusiastic love of life that puts a sparkle in our eyes, a lilt in our steps and smooths the wrinkles from our souls.
though pe class is a part of children’s education, many teenagers didn’t form the habit of doing exercise, they don’t have interest in sports. enthusiasm for sports is of great importance, young people should treat it as their integral part of education.
on the one hand, promoting enthusiasm for sports among teenagers helps them keep a healthy lifestyle. in the school, students are forced to take exercise in the pe class, they need to join certain activities. in this way, students live in a healthy lifestyle, they won’t get sick easily. but after they leaving school, no one forces them to do so, so they are lazy to take exercise, their bodies gets weaker.
on the other hand, the enthusiasm for sports can help students enhance their sense of teamwork. as we known, most sports need more than one person to do, like badminton and table tennis, these sports needs more than two people. when students are playing badminton, they need to cooperate, so that they can defeat others, if they just keep an eye on themselves, they game can’t be played. doing these sports will bring students the sense of teamwork, which is important for their career.
