ENTHUSIASM - THE REAL SECRET OF SUCCESS

Each new Ferrari employee is taken to meet Luca di Montezemolo, who presents them with a special gift: a card inscribed with the words of legendary Detroit car-maker, Walter P. Chrysler:
“The real secret of success is enthusiasm. You can do anything if you have enthusiasm. Enthusiasm is the yeast that makes your hope rise to the stars. Enthusiasm is the sparkle in your eye, it is the swing of your gait, the grip of your hand, the irresistible surge of your will, And your energy to execute your ideas. Enthusiasts are fighters. They have fortitude, they have staying qualities,
Enthusiasm is behind all progress. With it there is accomplishment.
Without it there are alibis.”
