It is understood that Burning desire to achieve a goal is the motivation for the success.
Just as a small fire cannot produce much heat a weak desire cannot result in great success.
.Napolean Hill said”Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve.”
There is a very interesting story about this desire.
Once Socrates was approached by a young man to know the secret of success.
Socrates asked him to come to a river next day.
The next day they met at the river, and with the instruction of Socrates, they both walked toward the river .When the water reached neck deep, Socrates took the young man by surprise and ducked him into the river.Despite the boy’s struggle , Socrates overpowered him and kept him under water till he turned blue.Later when Socrates released him from the water-he gasped and took a deep breath.
Then Socrates asked what is that he wanted the most when he was under the water.
The boy replied “AIR”.
Socrates told him that when he wants success as badly as he wanted “Air”,then he is bound to succeed.
‘This is the secret of success”
