The Secret of Success .... contributed by Sonam

A young man asked Socrates the secret of success.

Socrates told the young man to meet him near the river the next morning. They meet.
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 water. The man struggled to get out but Socrates was strong and kept him there until he started turning blue.

The young man struggled hard and finally managed to get out and the first he did was to gasp and take deep breath. Socrates asked “What you wanted the most when you were there?” the man replied ‘Air’

Socrates said ‘that’s the most secret to success.When you want success as badly as you wanted air, you will get it. There is no other secret’.
