There was once a boy who wanted to seek the secret of
success. One day he approached a wise man living up in the
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 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 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. 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.
