This story is called, "The Secret of Success."
The following inspiring story has
changed my life. I hope it will do the same for you.
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
entirely 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 actual secret of success."
The above story is one that I read whenever I feel de-motivated.
It always makes my day much better. Hope you enjoy and also benefit from this story.
All the Best,
