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 youwant 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...
