Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Samuel Ullman

Last night Erik, Kim and I got to attend the ISU internship fair.

I must be getting old because every time I go to one of the career fairs at ISU I am reminded more and more of the enthusiasm and opportunity of youth.

Watching all those “kids” nervously shaking hands and talking to a “serious adult” about a career for the very first time reminds me of the nervous excitement we all feel the first time we do something new.

My sincere hope for myself and for all of you is that we never lose that enthusiasm. We never let our souls get wrinkled.

For today (as a start), let’s all forget about how many years we have lived and capture the enthusiasm of our youth.

Make it a great day.
