This is how the story starts, the story of
the secret of success…….
Once upon a time there lived a young man,
who wanted to know “THE SECRET” of success. He used to travel long
distance in search of it, meeting all the intelligent people around the known
world of his times. After his many failed attempts, he looks for the most
intelligent person on the earth, the one who can for sure give him the “THE SECRET”. He goes on a voyage to meet this person who will give what he was
desperately looking for.
This young man meeting Socrates asks for the “THE SECRET” of success. Socrates told the young man to meet him
near the river the next morning.
This young man, who was longing for such a moment to come, waits
eagerly for this intelligent man by the river next morning.
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 young man started turning blue. Socrates pulled the young man'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."
There’s no other secret…….
