Can't make postgresql load at startup in Mac OS

I have installed postgresql via HomeBrew. It worked but today I find that postgresql server does not run when computer start.

I try to use launchctl to load it again with below command:

$ launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.postgresql.plist

and I see the message:

/usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/9.3.4/homebrew.mxcl.postgresql.plist: Service is disabled

I do not know how to enable postgresql service. Could anyone show me?

The new way as brew info postgresql says:

brew services start postgresql

It might also be helpful to use the command brew info postgresql for suggestions about how to set up your database and move the plist file into ~/Library/LaunchAgents

Use -w option with launchctl. 

$ launchctl load -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.postgresql.plist

-w Overrides the Disabled key and sets it to false.
