Aaron and I talk a lot about passion and enthusiam — in this space, in our presentations, and face-to-face with colleagues. As I wrote in a previous post (and you can substitute enthusiasm for passion):

Passion, though, is a funny thing. It’s easy to become passionate about something. But the fire of that passion can also be easily dimmed or extinguished

On top of that, spreading your enthusiasm across several things can easily thin and dim it. This post at PickTheBrain explains how to focus your enthusiasm. In a surprising parallel to what I wrote, the post points out:

Runaway enthusiasm happens when a new idea or interest fuels you with intense motivation. For about two weeks. Then that motivation dies out and you’re left with the wreckage.
