An
eight-year-old boy approached an old man in front of a
wishing well, looked up into his eyes, and asked:
"I understand you're a very wise man. I'd like to
know the secret of life."
The old man looked down at the youngster and replied:
"I've thought a lot in my lifetime, and the secret
can be summed up in four words.
The
first is think. Think about the values
you wish to live your life by.
The
second is believe. Believe in yourself
based on the thinking you've done about the values
you're going to live your life by.
The
third is dream. Dream about the things
that can be, based on your belief in yourself and the
values you're going to live by.
The
last is dare. Dare to make your dreams
become reality, based on your belief in yourself and
your values. "
And
with that, Walter E. Disney said to the little boy,
Think, Believe, Dream, and Dare.
