Secret of success

A young boy once asked Socrates the secret of success.

Socrates told the young boy to meet him near the river. the next morning they met. Socrates asked the young boy

To walk with him toward the river. When the water got up to their neck, Socrates took the young boy by surprise and ducked him in to the water. The you struggled to get out but Socrates was strong and kept him there untill the boy started turning blue. Socrates pulled the boy out of the water and first thing the young man did was to gasp and take a deep breath. Socrates asked, “What did you want the most when you ware in there under the water?” 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.
