There was a young man who wanted to be successful and have a lot of money. He went with a Guru and said: "I want to be on the same level as YOU." And the Guru told him: "If you want to be on the same level as I... Tomorrow I'll wait for you on the beach"

The young man arrived at 4 in the morning ready to work...
With his sportswear... with his shorts... The Guru took him by the hand and asked: "How much do you want to be successful?" The young man said: "more than anything in the world."

And the Guru took him to the water. When they were in the water, it took him deeper and the young man thought, "this is crazy". Then the young man said: "Hey, what I want is money", "I do not want to learn to swim..."
"I do not want to be a lifesaver." What I want is money and success! The Guru replied: "Walk deeper... deeper..."
And the young man thought: "That the Guru was crazy; He knows how to make money, but he's crazy."

And he said: "come walk deeper... walk deeper..."
And then he said: "I thought you wanted to succeed!"
The young man said: "Yes I want!"... to which the Guru replied: "Then come deeper!".

When he came closer, he grabbed the back of the neck, put his head in the water and kept it inside. He kept it with his head in the water until the young man was about to choke... about to faint. And then he let him take off his head...

The Guru told him: "I have a question. What were you thinking when you had your head in the water?"
The young man said: "I only thought about breathing."
The Guru said: "When YOU want to succeed, with the same strength that you wanted to breathe... then you will be successful!"

"When you were in the water you were pulling air from where you could..."
"You heard your forced breathing..."
"You lacked air and the only thing that was in your mind was to breathe".

"You did not care about anything else, not a basketball game or a TV show, or partying with your friends..."

"The only thing that interested you when you could not breathe, was to take pure air."
