365 Exciting Ways to Live - Excitement # 40 : Concentrate on Your Concentration

Concentrate on Your Concentration.
If you can keep playing tennis when somebody is shooting a gun down the street, that's concentration.


We all know that concentration is important. Without focus and concentration, we cannot achieve great things in life. What is even more important is the quality of our concentration. It is something like the component quality. Components, assembled properly, will make a product. But if the product is to be a good product, then the quality of the components should be good.
Try the following parameters to enrich your concentration:
  • What is the duration of your uninterrupted concentration? How long can you concentrate on a single subject?
  • What is the consistency of your concentration? Can you concentrate on the same subject the same way every day?
  • How strong is your concentration? Are you disturbed very easily?
  • Do you have a strategy to handle interruptions?
  • Can you anticipate the type of interruptions, so that you can handle them tactfully?

The most critical factor, which decides the world-class performance is the quality of concentration. Today, you resolve to improve the quality of your concentration by asking yourself the above questions.
