The Little Boy Asks the Meaning of Life

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 to “think”. Think about the values you wish to live your life

by.

The second is to “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 to “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 to “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”.
