IT IS CONCENTRATION THAT WINS.
WHEN a man has so disciplined his mind that it is proof against all unwelcome distractions; when he can make himself oblivious of every side-light which might dazzle or divert his vision, and keep his eye steadily on his chosen goal, he has thoroughly learned the power of concentration. A young man seeking a position, to-day, is not asked what college he came from or who his ancestors were. “What can you do?” is the invariable question. It is special training that is wanted. Most of the men at the head of great firms and great enterprises have been promoted step by step from the bottom. All men who have done great things have been noted for their sincerity of devotion to a single aim, their invincible determination to cleave to their purpose, to concentrate their powers upon the single object which has haunted their lives to the exclusion of all else. Happy, indeed, is he who possesses the power of assembling all his forces at a single point, of focusing his energies, and of bringing them to bear with all the weight of his entire being upon the purpose of his life. This insures victory.—Success.
