A story I like

An eight-year-old boy approached an old man, 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".

This is a story I found once and I really like it. I think life is more than these 4 words, but these words can create a step in finding the secret, of what life really is about, a secret that is different for everyone, because it's based on our believes and values.
