Is being "gung ho" about something a good or bad thing?

[Anonymous]

Such as:

a. working out

b. finding a job

c. eating healthy foods...only healthy foods

d. meeting new people

e. meeting a specific person

f. working lol

g. getting that "dream" whatever (car, house, dog, job)

It's actually the best thing that can happen to a person.

Being so optimistic and overly zealous in life is the most wonderful feeling you can have.

You're a great girl for having an attitude like that.

It will not surprise me if someday you'll be standing at the pinnacle of success.

I wouldn't say it's a good thing - usually the cavalier person makes a mistake due to ignorance/arrogance. I'd rather seasoned savvy than gun-ho anyday of the week.

Not at all. It's great when someone has a strong passion for something.

No way, it shows you have drive and motivation to do things in life.

You can have drive and motivation to do things in life without being gung-ho. Ie. you don't need to "Show" it.

[BlazingFire88]

True but showing some enthusiasm once and a while doesn't kill either.

That sounds like a term I would use lol
