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 accomplishments.
