 CONCENTRATION-THE REMEDY

ONCE UPON A TIME THERE WAS A VERY OLD SWORD SMITH IN CHINA.WHO WAS NEARINGTHE NINETY

HE WAS THE SOLE SUPPLIER OF SWORDS TO THE THE CHINESE EMPEROR AND HIS FIRM WAS THE LARGEST SUPPLIER OF SWORDS TO THE EVER EFFICIENT CHINESE ARMY.

SO, ONCE IT WAS DECIDED TO HONOUR THE SWORD MAKER-THE OLD MAN.

AT THE FELICITATION MEETING THE EMPEROR ASKED AFTER THE USUAL RITUALS " GENTLEMAN ! WHAT IS THE SECRET OF YOUR SUCH FINE SWORD MAKING"

THE  OLD MAN HUMBLY REPLIED "CONCENTRATION- YOUR EXECELLANCY,  I JOINED A SWORDSMITH AT  THE AGE OF EIGHT ANDFROM THAN TILL NOW NOTHING HAS INTERESTED ME IF IT IS NOT A SWORD"

LACK OF CONCENTRATION IS ONE OF THE MAIN  REASON OF FAILURE.

Thank you SPIRITUAL for your comments .

As you have observed it is indeed reproduced i dont remember from where.
But it is my favourite punchline used extensively in my projects/market research report in the last fifteen years.
years ago i had read an autobiographical article by arnold schwarzenegar .We appreciate when we see a well developed physique of a body builder(ofcourse it depends upon a persons taste) but what we admire today is not because of todays work but because of years of hard work,-
rigprous training,strict discipline etc. this applies to excellence in any field.

just try attending the gym regularly for a month.

The gist is , in LIFE u can become a Jack of all , without perfection and excellence in any thing , but if u want to become a MASTER of any art or any subject and excel ,u have to specialise in that which you enjoy doing and go on refining with perseverance and of course 'concentration' and dedication over a long period , which will impart u experience , excellence and mastery.

In the present context , many , often change their professions , in search of greener pastures , sacrificing satisfaction of their spiritual needs , either being not aware of their real role in life or only for monetary gains.
In the above post concentration sounds a misnomer , though its implications are lucid enough to comprehend.
This post seems to have been reproduced but surely , contains a meaningful message !!!!
