H arvey West Jr: A young man in his twenties was seeing out from the train’s window shouted…  “Father, look at the trees! They are going behind!” The young man’s father smiled at the man and a young couple sitting nearby, looked at the young man’s childish comment with pity.

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.”
