short story about a young man and Socrates.
A young man once inquired of Socrates, the wise man, about the secret of success. Socrates calmly listened to the man's question and instructed him to meet him beside the river the following morning for the solution. Socrates invited the young man to accompany him on a walk to the river the next morning. The water was up to their necks when they waded into the river. Socrates, however, ducked the young man into the water, much to the surprise of the young man.

The young man fought to get out of the water, but Socrates stood firm and kept him there until he turned blue. Socrates drew the man's head from the water's edge. The young man exhales heavily and takes a long breath. 'What did you want the most when your head was in the water?' Socrates inquired. "Air," said the young man. "That is the secret of success," Socrates said. You will achieve success if you desire it as much as you desired air when in the sea. There isn't any additional information."

Moral of the story: All achievement begins with a burning desire. A weak desire will not yield great results, just as a modest fire will not produce much heat.
