Success - Socrates
A
young man asked Socrates the secret of 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 into the river. When the water got
up to their neck, Socrates took the young man by surprise and swiftly
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 the boy’s 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 him, "what did you want the most when you were there?" The boy
replied, "Air". Socrates said, "That is the secret of success! When you
want success as badly as you wanted the air, then you will get it!"
There is no other secret
