Meaning of Success

Hoshyarian | Haroon Rafiq | 4th DECEMBER 2022

A gentleman was buying railway ticket. It was expensive. A six-year-old boy was also accompanying. We should care about when we lie in the presence of our children.

26:00 Everyone wish of success. Once a young man asked the wise man, Socrates, the secret to success. Socrates patiently listened to the man’s question and told him to meet him near the river the next morning for the answer. The next morning Socrates asked the young man to walk with him towards the river. As they went in the river the water got up to their neck. But to the young man’s surprise Socrates ducked him into the water.

The young man struggled to get out of the water, but Socrates was strong and kept him there until the boy started turning blue. Socrates pulled the man’s head out of the water. The young man gasps and took a deep breath of air. Socrates asked, ‘What did you want the most when your head was in the water?” The young man replied, “Air.” Socrates said, “That is the secret to success. When you want success as badly as you wanted the air while you were in the water, 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.

4 Reasons You Should Think Like an Ant

1. Ants never quit. 2. Ants think winter all summer. 3. Ants think summer all winter. 4. Ants think “all-you-possibly-can.”

Misery loves company means people who are suffering are comforted by the knowledge that other are also unhappy. People who are suffering and miserable find reassurance and comfort in the fact that others are suffering and miserable also.

A famous example of someone who had a big leg length discrepancy was Bruce Lee. It didn't hold him back very much! To quote him, “I became a martial artist in spite of my limitations. My left leg is almost one inch shorter than the right. That fact dictated the best stance for me – my right foot leading. Then I found because the right leg was longer, I had an advantage with certain types of kicks, since the uneven stomp gave me greater impetus.”

Wilma Glodean Rudolph survived bouts of polio and scarlet fever. Doctors told, she would never be able to walk or run. But her mother told her, she has unique leg shape. So, she can, and she did.

Positive words and encouragement matters.
