“The power of mind are like the rays of sun.When they are concentrated,they illumine.”–Swami Vivekananda
When I was a child,I saw how a magnifying glass could burn a piece of paper,when the rays of the sun were focused through it one point.The fire could only be ignited,when the sun’s rays were concentrate on a small point.When the magnifying glass was moved too far away,or too close to the paper,the rays were not focused enough,and nothing happened.
This experience describes vividly how the power of concentration works.It’s a skill,which enables you to fix your attention on one single thought or subject.
When you focus your mind,you protect your energies from being disturbed by other thoughts or activities.Developing concentration is important for achieving success.Without it,your efforts get scattered,but with it,you can finish great things.
Concentration has many uses and benefits.It helps in studying,enables faster understanding,improves the memory,and helps in focusing on a task,or goal,and therefore,achieving them more easily and efficiently.When this ability is strong,the mind obeys you more readily and does not engage in worries.This ability plays an important role in gaining mental mastery,and having peace of mind.
To develop this power You need to train and exercise it.Forget all your excuses about not having the time or being too busy.Do not say that the circumstances are not proper,or that you cannot find a quiet place to exercise.With a little planning,desire and interest,you can always always find the time to exercise each day,no matter how busy you are.
1月15日，我读到这篇文章。在当时的特殊情况下，引起了思想共鸣，产生了巨大的影响。
3月15日，约两个月后，重读这篇文章，感触颇深。
专注，是成功的必要因素。我们的力量终归是有限的，我们的想法不可能都满足。努力固然是重要的，但是为什么有许多人努力了却依然是失败？究其原因，是因为力量过于分散。他们没有将精力放在真正对他们而言重要的事上，在全面推进的过程中，处处碰壁。
要想保持专注，必须知道什么对自己是真正重要的。有了这份认识，便会淡视诱惑与困难。同时，也要有严密的计划，在紧密的规划中稳定前进。
最近，是困难的。但我坚信我可以奋斗出亮丽未来，加油！Never give up and Never give in!
