There are thousand of books which purportedly tell you how to succeed in life, in work etc

Here is a secret so simple that is regarded as the Ultimate Secret of Success----

A young man asked Socrates the secret of success, Socrates told him to meet him near a river the next morning.
they met and socrates asked him 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 the water. The man struggled to get out but socrates was strong and kept him there until he started turning blue.

The young man struggle hard and finally manage to get out and first thing he did was to gasp and take a deep breath.
Socrates asked " What was it that you wanted the most when you were in there?"

The man replied "AIR"

Socrates said " That's the ultimate secret of success" when you want success as badly as you wanted air, you will get it...
