Default Re: What's the one thing you must do...?

Reminds me of the story of the young man who went
up into the mountains to find the wise man. After
walking for weeks, he finally finds the guy. He
says, "what must I do to be successful".
The wise man throws him into the water and holds
him under. Then he lets him up and pushes him
down again. Lets' him up and pushes him down a
third time.
He comes up and says "you old fool I ask you how
to be successful and you try to drown me"...
the old man says "what did you want, more than
anything else when you were under the third time?"
"you old fool, i wanted to breathe" "Son, when you
want to succeed as much as you wanted to breathe
when you were under that 3rd time, you will succeed".
