The Right Path To Success

A young man was keen to find the path of success. He was told a very wise man with the clue to success was living somewhere and people who had been coached by him become successful. This excited him. He finally found the wise man he was looking for.

He asked, "Wise man, could you please tell me what to do, or what should i possess, in order to become successful?"

Wise man said, "You want to be successful? Then come with me."

Wise man then headed straight to the beach without heeding the response from the young man. In order to pursue success, the young man quickly followed the footsteps of wise man.

Wise man slowly led him into the sea, until the water reached the level of their chest. Suddenly wise man pushed young man's head into the water.

He struggled, but wise man did not let go of his head. After almost a minute, wise man eventually let go of his hands. Young man gasped heavily.

'Old man, are you trying to drown me?" he yelled.

"If your desire for success is as strong as your desire to catch your breath just now, you are already on the path to success."

Shine the path of others and the path will be shone unto you!

A blind man was walking along the street at night, holding in his hand a brightly-lit lantern. The others were curious, and asked him, "You can't see. Isn't it redundant to walk with a lit lantern?"

The blind man said seriously, "This lantern in my hand held up to light up others, so that they can see their way and not bump into me. While I'm helping others, I'm also helping myself."
