I don't know how many jobs I've lost, because I'm a low reactor. I'm not
going to get excited about anything. I've also lost job candidates, because
the boss expected me to very enthusiastic about hiring them. I've made a
chef angry, because the food was "Fine." I've made my mother mad because the
food was "Fine." Of course, it was stark raving excellent. But, I don't go
there.

Entrepreneurs like enthusiastic people. So if you want the job, fake it.

David
