This morning I had my breakfast with my classmate. He bring along his son who will sit for SPM this year. The boy ask me about the secret of success. This remind me to a story that I read years ago (during my first degree in university).
The story about a boy who wanted to seek the secret of success. He approached a wise man living up in the mountain. Instead of answer the boy's question, the wise man led the boy to a nearby river. They kept walking int the river until the boy's head was fully submerged in the water. The boy strggled to keep up his head above the water but the wise man keep pushing the boy's head into the water.
After a few minutes the wise man pulled the boy out of the water and asked the boy what he desired the most when his head in the water. The boy told the wise man that of course he want to breathe.
Then the wise man said to the boy that if he desire success as much as he wanted to breathe, then he would have found the true secret of success.
So, I told my friend's son this story and I hope he will get the idea...
