“Enthusiasm makes the difference.”

What this means is are you a tiger or eeyore from Winnie the Pooh.Are you very happy or are you always sad .Do you pretend to happy but actually inside you are sad.This quote is saying that if you are happy there will be a difference in your lifestyle.If you are a very sad and enthusiastic then people will get sad as well so try to be a little happy and smile sometimes.But try not to be very happy because then when you're sad people will be asking you what's wrong with you.So being happy with make a huge difference in you're life .Always try to be sometype of happy and try not to always be sad adn try not to be sad at all. Try to me a more energetic,happy and smiley person.If you're sad because you don't sleep enough get more sleep so you can be energetic.

"True wealth is of the heart, not of the purse."

What this quote means is that you may have all the money in the world but you have no wealth in your heart. Meaning you may be rich but have nothing good in your heart. You may do nothing that is good and have nothing good in your heart. You may do bad and have a lot of money but your heart is empty. You will have a lonely life and be sad but have a lot of money but even with all the money in the world your heart is empty. Not even all the money in the world can buy you happiness. A lot of people think that the wealthy  people are happy because they have a lot of money. But tats not true they are probably sad inside. They may seem happy but are sad in inside they could probably be depressed and you may not know.Some people choose to hide there feelings from other people and not show there emotions. For example my friends seem happy but some of them may be having trouble in school and they may be saying they have A's and are behaving good. When maybe they are doing bad getting in trouble. People choose to hide there feelings some do and a lot of people dont know. That is what i think this quote means. To other people this quote it may mean something way different but every person has there own opinion. Just how some people hide there feelings.
