Burning Desire is the 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
