Intelligent enthusiasm
Before I go a mm further I did not write the following. I will quote it as I thought it was good but credit goes to small piece by Sonya Lennon in last Sunday's Tribune.
'Enthusiasm on its own can be a little bit pointless but when you have intelligent enthusiasm, it can drive success in all walks of life. What I'm saying that you need to have a positive attitude without the unfounded optimism - your optimism needs to be tempered and as a nation we need to stop focussing on where we are but how we can get out of it'
