Why $1000???
I remember a story....no idea where I heard it, but it went something like this: A young man, newly married and just starting out in life was walking along a lake one day. He saw an older man fishing...as he got closer to the older man, he noticed that it was John Smith, a local self made multi millionaire...The young man realized this was his chance to find out how to make it in life...how to get rich...
So the young man walks over and says "excuse me Mr. Smith sir"? Mr Smith looks up and says "yes"
"Well, sir", says the young man..."I was wondering if you could tell me how to make it big in life?"
Do You really want to know, asked Mr. Smith? Yes replied the young man...I want to be rich...like you sir... "well said Mr Smith...are you really, truly sure you want to know?...
Starting to get agitated...the young man sad, "yes! I want to be rich like you...please tell me your secret!!!!
Mr Smith stood up...walked over to the young man and said "follow me" and Mr smith proceeded to walk out to the middle of the lake...Confused the young man just stood there...."come on boy!" said Mr. Smith...Get out here"
The young man walked to the center of the lake and stood next to Mr. Smith..."well, what's your secret...please tell me"...."ok if you really want to know...come closer..."
As the young man excitedly stepped forward Mr Smith punched him in the stomach, grabbed the young man by the hair and held him under the water...Mr. Smith pulled the young man up...as he grasped for breath, Mr smith put the young mans head back under the water....He repeated this 3 times...the final time Mr smith held the young mans head underwater longer than the previous 3 times...he then pulled the young man and dragged him to shore...
The young man...fighting for breath, and half passed out finally said.."what is wrong with you old man...you almost killed me...
Mr Smith got down on his knees, looked the young man in the eye and said...
" The last time I held you under the water...you didn't think I was going to let you back up? How bad did you want that last breath...how bad did you want to live...to push me off of you and come to the top....that's the desire you need to have too make it....that is how you succeed...go after your goal like you're fighting for your last breath....that's the secret....
