<aside> 🦌 We automatically read minds through attitude appraisals.

Attitudes are mirrors of the mind. They reflect thinking.

• You can say one set of words and mean completely different things through attitude and inflection.
• Body language, facial expressions, and vocal tone are huge factors of any conversation, and can spin it many ways.

Grow These Attitudes

1. I'm activated.
2. You are important.
3. Service first.

<aside> 🦌 To activate others, to get them to be enthusiastic, you must first be enthusiastic yourself.

Enthusiasm can make things 1000% better.

• All it takes is some enthusiasm to bring life into things that lack it; think about a club or an organization that is fading away. It probably is because the leaders don't really have much enthusiasm or excitement concerning it.
  • Math Club would have been much more exciting if we brought energy to it; but often it just devolved into a quiet lesson over topics that the leader himself wasn't really passionate about. This is why so many people quit.
• You must bring excitement and energy to everything you do, lest they fade away too.

How To Develop Enthusiasm for Anything

1. Dig into it deeper
   • Think about something that you're not excited about; now think about how much you know about it. Chances are that your deficient interest is a product of your lack of knowledge.
   • "To get enthusiastic, learn more about the thing you are not enthusiastic about."
   • Find all you can about a subject or person, and your interest in it or them will soon start to expand.
   • My problem about my lack of love for college was I didn't really dig deep into it.
     • I should have steered into the swerve and leaned into it, and dug into the community.
     • I could have learned all I could about the environment, socialized with the people, and made myself feel like a true citizen from day one.
     • This would have radically changed my experience.
2. In everything you do, life it up
   • Enthusiasm of lack of it shows in everything. If you can add a little to every small aspect, things will drastically change.
   • A conservative, mouse-like handshake is often worse than no handshake at all. So be strong and proud.
   • "People go along with the fellow who believes what he says."
   • Whatever you say, put enthusiasm behind it, and it will be remembered.
