From the moment he woke, Robert felt an insistent energy, like a tightly wound spring waiting to be released. He wanted to do everything at once. He was ready to face whatever came his way.

His usually stoic face was now animated, a wide grin breaking through. He talked animatedly at the water cooler. He wanted to hear everything.

He tackled his workload with a speed and precision that surprised even himself. His ideas flowed freely. He wanted to be the best.

He felt a deep sense of optimism, a certainty that he was on the verge of something extraordinary. The very air around him felt charged.
