"Enthusiasm makes the difference"

"Enthusiasm makes the difference"

                         -Dr. Norman Vincent Peale

This quote is one of the most truthful quotes I have ever heard. It's not scarce to see this quote become a reality. This quote is proven right by everything around us. In our daily life. In the movies. In books. This quote is true everywhere. It means what is says. If someone wants become an NBA all star,  and all they do is complain how they never make a shot, or how practice is super boring, than they don't have the enthusiasm they need in order to become an NBA star. On the other hand, someone who loves shooting, whether it's hit or miss, and they absolutely love practice and get excited for it than they do have the enthusiasm needed to become an NBA all star. Another example would be me and my enthusiasm for video games. When I want to play a game, i tend to get excited and I usually call over some friends so that they can get online and play with me. Although sometimes my friends don't share the enthusiasm I have when playing video games, so I try to reason with them so that they too feel excitement. When everyone is enthusiastic we can usually always win a match of our video game ahead by at least 40 points (that's a lot) playing with other actual people. Now sometimes my friends are enthusiastic about something I'm not. In this situation what we do is talk as a group until we all have something to get excited about. This can also make a general difference in your life when going to school and getting work done. Someone who is enthusiastic will usually want to do more work to better themselves in that class or subject. That is why I believe that this quote is one of the best and most truthful quotes ever made. 

"I wasn't trying to leave a legacy"

"I wasn't trying to leave a legacy. I was trying to do what was right." 
                                                                                                                                                                              - Dean Smith 

Dean Smith was one of the best coaches of all time. He even broke the record (at some point ) of the most games ever won. He would coach the all American sport; basketball. Sadly he passed away. However his legacy is here to stay for years and years to come. He coached college basketball in North Carolina. He even coached the greatest basketball player of all time; Michael Jordan. In this quote he is showing his good nature as a person overall. Dean Smith is telling us he never did it for such a great impact. In this quote he's telling us how the whole time he was training it was only to do what is best and what is right. While he was coaching and getting so many victories he only focused on his players and what's good for them. As he was doing the right thing he was doing an exceptional job at coaching his basketball teams. He retired with a total of 873 victories in his basketball coaching career. A good example of this would be like Robert Downey Jr. He never meant to be such a good actor, he was just doing what was right and doing a damn good job at it too. Now he is won of the most successful actors in the business. He is recognized everywhere for such awesome performances. And all was done while he chose the right thing after doing a bad one long ago and going to prison for it. That is why this quote is so inspirational. He never meant to be as big as he ended up being. It just happened on the way.
