A BURNING DESIRE FOR SUCCESS

I once read a story, i am going to share it with you guys today. But keep in mind, that the story it may be a fiction or maybe not. But the bottom line is that the moral lesson will stare your inner man up.
The story goes as follow;

source
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.

Now to the moral lesson of the story:
A burning desire is the starting point of all accomplishment. Just like a small fire cannot give much heat, a weak desire cannot produce great results.
