Secret to Success
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 towards 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.
Moral of the Story
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. The motivation to succeed comes from the burning desire to achieve
a purpose.
