Anecdotes, fables and parables

1 replies
I like anecdotes, fables and parables. The stories are short but effective. Here's one of my favourite:

"One day, a student of Socrates asked his venerable teacher how to become wise. Socrates led the student to a nearby lake and the two entered the water. Then, he held the student's head under the surface as the frantic young man fought wildly. Finally, Socrates freed him. The young man gasped and gulped. Socrates watched calmly and said, "When you desire wisdom with the same intensity that you desire to breathe, then nothing will stop you from getting it."

Socrates is right, the motivation to succeed comes from within us.

Do you have a favourite anecdote, fable or parables to share?

    Great great story here.

    Another one of my favorite Socrates quotes is : " He is richest who is content with the least, for content is the wealth of nature. "
