Secret of success

There was once a boy who wanted to seek the secret of success. One
day he approached a wise man living up int he mountain. When he
found the wise man at the hut, he asked, “Wise man, can you tell me
the secret to becoming successful in life?”. The wise man was silent
for awhile.

After a moment of silence, the wise man led the young lad to a
nearby river. They kept walking into the river until the boy’s head
was fully submerged in the water. The boy struggled to keep his head
above the water. To his astonishment, the wise man did not help him.
Instead, the wise man held the boy’s head in the water.

After a few minutes the wise man pulled the boy out of the water and
they proceeded to walk back to the hut. At the hut the wise man
asked the young boy what he desired most when his head was submerged
in water.To this the young boy quickly responded, “Of course, I
wanted to breathe, you old fool!”. To which the wise man
replied, “Son, if you desire success as much as you wanted to
breathe, then you would have found the true secret of success.”

Success is a matter of choice. If we have enough strong reasons,
there is nothing that we cannot do. A mere wish would not make
things happen. It is a burning desire that will generate the energy
to bring you to achieve any goal that you may desire.

(Hi again...I would be happy if you can share your desire for success rather than a one liner..............)
