Develop the Art of Concentration

Born to Excel and Exceed

- Dr John M. Mathews

The human mind resembles a burning glass whose rays are intense only when they are concentrated. As the glass burns only when its rays are converged to a focal point, so the mind illumines the world of science, literature or business, only when it is directed to a solitary object.

What is more powerless than the scattered clouds of steam as they rise to the sky? They are as impotent as the dewdrops that fall nightly upon the earth, but concentrated and condensed in a steam boiler, they are able to cut through solid rock, propel atomic ships, and accomplish the seemingly impossible.

A laser is a weak source of energy. It takes just a few watts of energy to focus its rays in a coherent stream of light. But with it, you can drill a hole in a diamond or destroy cancer cells. When we focus, we create the same effect. We create a powerful, laser-like ability to get anything done in our lives that we desire.
