The secret of success!

A young man asked Socrates, an ancient Greek philosopher,
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 toward the
river.
When the water got up to their necks, Socrates took the
young man by surprise and ducked him into the water. The
man struggled to get out but Socrates was strong and kept
him under water until he started turning blue.
The young man struggled hard and finally managed to get
up. The first thing he did was to gasp and take a deep
breath.
Socrates asked, “What did you want the most when you
were under the water?”
The man replied “Air”.
Socrates said: “That’s the most secret to success. When you
want success as badly as you want air, you will get it. There
is no other secret”.
Moral:
A burning desire is the starting point of all
accomplishments. Just like a small fire cannot give much heat,
a weak desire cannot produce great results…
