I know of a young man who, despite his weight problem, became a successful model and actor. You may remember him as one of the first men to wear the grapes in the Fruit of the Loom commercials.
But, even though he was successful, he didn't feel good about himself. Finding the following note on his car one day inspired him to do something about his problem: "Fat people die young. Please don't die. — An Admirer."
This young man went on a crash diet and lost nearly 110 pounds within three months. The dramatic weight loss wrecked his body and resulted in his hospitalization.
After this devastating experience, he decided to start all over and learn how to lose weight safely through good nutrition and proper exercise. After he learned this, he wanted to share his knowledge with others like himself who were troubled by obesity.  He was so enthusiastic about his new found knowledge and about helping others that people became immediately attracted to him. He eventually made weight-loss education his business — and enthusiasm his partner!
Today, Richard Simmons is recognized all over America for his weight-loss crusade and has become a wealthy and famous man. But he couldn't have done it without his enthusiasm and the ability to set goals.
