A young man asked Socrates （苏格拉底） the secrets to success. Socrates told the young man to meet him near the river the next morning. When they meet, Socrates asked the young man to walk with him towards the river. When the water got up to their necks, Socrates took the young man by surprise and pressed him into the water. The boy struggled（挣扎） to get out but Socrates was strong and kept him there until the boy stared turning blue. Socrates pulled his head out of the water and the first thing the young man did was to gasp（大口喘气） 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 the air, then you will get it. There is no other secret.”
A burning desire is the starting point of all accomplishment(成就). Just like a small fire cannot give much heat, a weak desire cannot produce great results.

Once there was a parrot on sale in a pet store. It was a beautiful red and blue bird. It sat on a perch ( 横杆 ) in the middle of the store, so that everyone could see it when they came in. The owner was very proud of it and asked a high price for it.
One day a man went into the store. “ That’s a beautiful bird,” he said to the owner, “ But why is it so expensive? Is it an unusual bird?”
