Excitable



The Pointer Sisters. They were so excited, and they just couldn't hide it. Okay, so maybe they don't appear to be living the dream on this particular album sleeve. But they weren't afraid to shout about it, accompanied by a disco beat.

I've been dealing with a client over the past couple of weeks who has not been afraid to express her excitement over the project we've been working on. One thing I've rediscovered about excitement: it's contagious.

As adults, we seem to lose our capacity for getting excited about things, in the same way we get excited about things as children. We grow up; we get serious. Where did it go? Will I ever be excited about anything ever again? Seeing a client expressing genuine excitement over something you've created is so rewarding, personally and professionally. It's a fantastic day at the office.

  1. Well done, how great that your job is giving that experience to you and I think its great you noticed it and went with it. So many adults resist, afraid of something. You are so right about children and excitment they can get excited about the most mundane things in life. Seeing life with fresh eyes helps.
