The Story:
A
boy once asked a wise old man what the secret to success is. After listening to
the boy’s question, the wise man told the boy to meet him at the river in the
morning and he would be given the answer there.
In
the morning, the wise man and the boy began walking toward the river. They
continued on into the river, past the point of the water covering their nose
and mouth. At this time, the wise man ducked the boy into the water.
As
he struggled to get out, the wise man continued to push him further down. The
boy felt a fish slip by his leg and squirmed to get up even harder. The man
eventually pulled the boy’s head up so he could get air. The boy gasped as he
inhaled a deep breath of air.
The
wise man said, ‘What were you fighting for when you were under water?” The boy
replied, “Air!” The man said, “There you have the secret to success. When you
want to gain success as much as you wanted air when you were under water, you
will obtain it. That’s the only secret.”
The Moral:
Success
starts with the desire to achieve something. If
your motivation is weak, your results will follow
suit. Think about what you desire the most in life and work
towards getting it. Don’t allow your environment or other people to influence
the things that you truly want. Just because the fish swimming by is
comfortable with being under water doesn’t mean that you are.
