最大的成功秘诀

荷叶/译

        从前，有个年轻人来向苏格拉底请教如何学哲学。

        苏格拉底一言未发，而是把他领到一条河边，突然强行把他推进水里。

        开始时，年轻人还以为苏格拉底在和他开玩笑，没往心里去。         但苏格拉底也跳进水里，把年轻人的头拼命往水里按。此时，年轻人真正慌了神。求生的本能使他拼尽全力，挣脱了苏格拉底，爬到了岸上。

        年轻人疑惑不解地问苏格拉底为什么要这样做，苏格拉底回答说：“我只想告诉你：无论做什么事情，都要有绝地求生的决心，只有这样，才能取得真正的成就。”

附：原文

Once there was a young man who came to ask Socrates how to learn philosophy.

Socrates said nothing but took him along to a river. He suddenly pushed him into the river forcibly.

At first the young man thought Socrates was kidding so he didn't take itto heart. But Socrates also jumped into the river and pulled his head into water desperately. At this time the young man was really scared, his instinct of living made him use all his strength lifting Socrates and climbed to thebank.

The young man asked Socrates with puzzle why he did that, Socrates replied: "I just want to tell you whatever you do, do it with a determination to be unexpectedly rescued from a desperate situation. Only like that can you make a genuine achievement."
