A young man
asked Socrates
the secret to
success. Socrates
told the young
man to meet him
near the river the
next morning.
They met.
Socrates asked
the young man to
walk with him
toward the river.
When the water
got up to their
neck, Socrates
took the young
man by surprise
and ducked him
into the water.
The boy struggled
to get out but
Socrates was
strong and kept
him there until the
boy started
turning blue.
Socrates pulled his
head out of the
water and the first
thing the young
man did was to
gasp and take a
deep breath of air.
Socrates asked,
'What did you want
the most when
you were there?"
The boy replied,
"Air." Socrates
said, "That is the
secret to success.
When you want
success as badly
as you wanted the
air, then you will
get it." There is no
other secret.
A burning desire
is the starting
point of all
accomplishment.
Just like a small
fire cannot give
much heat, a weak
desire cannot
produce great
results...
