Charles Schwab was a very successful businessman, and the president of the newly formed United States Steel Corporation.
When talking about success and entrepreneurship, one thing always come up, you guessed it “Passion”.
A man can succeed at almost anything for which he has unlimited enthusiasm
– Charles Schwab
Focus and obsession-like behaviour is underestimated. Anything to which you have unlimited enthusiasm for will eventually be mastered by you, thus helping you become a subject expert in it. Because, when you are enthusiastic about something, then you are more likely to put in the necessary effort and dedication required to achieve the goals. This can help overcome obstacles and setbacks that may arise along the way.
Of course, enthusiasm alone may not be enough to guarantee success. Other factors such as knowledge, skills, and experience may also be necessary depending on the task or goal. Thus an effort should be put to acquire what is lacking. Additionally, it’s important to have a realistic understanding of the challenges and requirements involved in achieving success, and hence the use of the term “almost anything”.
