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. There is a short story to show you how.
A young man asked a priest the secret to success. Priest told the young man to meet him near the river next morning. They met. Priest asked the young man to walk with him toward the river. When the water got up to their necks, priest took the young man by surprise and dunked him under the water. The boy struggled to get out but priest was strong and held him down. When the boy started turning blue, priest raised the boy’s head out of water. The first thing the young man did was to gasp and take a deep breath of air. Priest asked “What did you want the most when you were under water”? The boy replied, “Air”. Priest said, “That is the secret of success. When you want success as intensely as you wanted air underwater, then you will have it.” There is no other secret.
