You spend God-knows-how-many-years working to get a Ph.D. in your field. Clearly you believe it's important. How can you not convey this enthusiasm to your students? Your students may never take another course in economics (or Math/English/Whatever). Do you keep this in mind when developing a class or lecture?
On a related note, you have to appreciate Mankiw's enthusiasm as indicated by his personalized license plate.

I believe the best way to show this "enthusiasm" is to be passionate in your teaching. This makes a big difference in how the student sees the material being presented. Don't be too predictable in presentation, keep them guessing about, what will happen in class today?
