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

SUCCESS PRINCIPLES
Success is a matter of choice. If
we have strong
enough reasons, there is nothing
that we cannot do.
Once we have the reasons to do
something, we will
surely find the ways to do it. A
mere wish would not
make things happen. It is a
burning desire, turned
into an obsession that will
generate the energy to
bring you to achieve any goal
that you may desire
