"Which way is success?"

What is success, where can we find it and how do we obtain it, is relative to the one who is seeking it. I can tell you from personal experience, giving up to soon and being blinded by the obvious are common occurrence when searching for success.

Enjoy,

An eager neophyte meets a wise man in the road. The neophyte asks the wise man, "Which way is success?"

The berobed, bearded sage speaks not, but points to a place off in the distance.

The neophyte, thrilled by the prospect of quick and easy success, rushes off in the appropriate direction. Suddenly, there comes a loud "SPLAT." Eventually, the man limps back, tattered and stunned, assuming he must have misinterpreted the message. He repeats his question to the wise man, who again points silently in the same direction.

The neophyte obediently walks off once more. This time the splat is deafening, and when the man crawls back, he is bloody, broken, tattered, and irate. "I asked you which way is success," he screams at the wise man. "I followed the direction you indicated. And all I got was splatted! No more of this pointing! Talk!"

Only then does the wise man speak, and what he says is this: "Success IS that way. Just a little PAST splat."
