A young lad asked Socrates the secret to success. Socrates
told him to meet him near the river the next morning.
The next day they met,
Socrates asks the lad to walk with him toward the river. When the water
got up to their neck, Socrates took the young lad by surprise and ducked him
into the water. The boy struggled to get out but Socrates was strong enough and
kept him there until he started turning blue.
Socrates suddenly 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 your head was in the water? The
boy replied “Air”. Socrates said to him“that’s the secrets to success. When you
want success as badly as you want the air, then you will get it”
Lessons
In histories about success, it has never for once been
achieved in a platter of ease. It takes trials to taste triumph.
That is funny...
