Once a young man asked Socrates how he could gain wisdom, Socrates took the young man on a walk to a nearby lake, once there Socrates got the young man to walk into the lake until it was up to about knee height, unexpectedly Socrates grabbed the head of the young man and forced his head under the water holding it there. The young man at first thought it was a test and did not retaliate, but time was ticking and he was under the water for a long time, to a point where survival instinct crept in and made him frantic as he fought desperately to free himself from the lack of oxygen, causing a burning sensation in his lungs. Socrates, once letting him go, said "When you desire wisdom with the same intensity that you desire to breathe, then nothing will stop you from getting it." If you want it you will get it, providing the intensity is there, unfortunately in most golfers this is not the case.
