The Formula For Sucess

What is the secret of attaining success? To attain success you should have desire, direction, dedication, determination and discipline. The other things come easy. That is, a person should have the desire to attain his goal or aim, dedication to his work, determination to succeed and the discipline required to put in hard work. In short, the formula for success is
Aim+Determination+ Dedication+ Hard work=Success

A young man once asked Socrates, the great Greek philosopher, the secret of success. Socrates told the young man to meet him near the river the next morning. As they met, Socrates asked the young man to walk with him towards the river. When the water reached up to their neck Socrates took the young man by surprise ducked him under the water. The man struggled to get out but Socrates was strong and kept him there until he started turning blue. Socrates pulled his head out of the water and the first thing the young man did was to gasp and take a deep breath of air. Socrates asked him, “What did you want the most when you were there?” “Air” came the reply. Socrates said, “That is the secret of success. When you want success as badly as you want air, then you will get it. 
A burning desire is the starting point of all accomplishments. Success is not something that you run into my accident. It requires great effort and a lot of preparation. Without hard work, there is no success. Nature gives birds their food but does not put it in their nests.They have to work hard for it. Nothing comes easy. Milton, the famous English poet rose everyday at 4 a.m. to write his great work, ‘Paradise Lost.’ It took Noah Webster 36 years to compile webster’s dictionary.
These instances encourage us to work hard, be self confident and leave the rest to God. The frame of success is waiting to hold your picture, just get focused.
