"Agissez avec enthousiasme et vous serez enthousiaste"
— Dale Carnegie
Simplified Meaning:
Pretending to be excited can actually make you feel more excited. Imagine you wake up feeling tired, but you push yourself to smile and greet everyone cheerfully. As you go on, this positive energy catches on, and you start to genuinely feel better and more lively. It's like when you're at a party, and at first, you don't feel like dancing. But once you start dancing and having fun, even if you faked it at the beginning, you end up enjoying yourself more and feeling happy. Acting with enthusiasm can trick your mind and body into believing you are truly enthusiastic, changing your mood and energy in the process. You can use this trick whenever you're feeling down or unmotivated to boost your spirits and become more engaged in what you're doing.
