Question

A young man asked Socrates the secret to success. Socrates told the young man to meet

him near the river the next morning. They met. Socrates asked the young man to walk

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 boy struggled to get out but Socrates was strong

and kept him there until the boy started turning blue. Socrates pulled his head out of the

water and the first thing the young man did was to gasp and take a deep breath of air.

Socrates asked, “What did you want the most when you were there?” The boy replied, “Air.”

Socrates said, “That is the secret to success. When you want success as badly as you wanted

air, then you will get it. There is no other secret”.

A burning desire is the starting point of all accomplishment. Just like a small fire cannot

give much heat, a weak desire cannot produce great results.






Read the above passage again and write a possible conversation between Socrates and young man before going into the river.

Young man: ______________________________.

Socrates: _________________________________.​
