“This powerful focusing of one’s thought and energy and will upon the doing of things is difficult – but daily efforts, strenuously made and patiently followed up, will soon lead to such a measure of self-control as will enable one to bring a strong and penetrating mind to bear upon any work undertaken: a mind that will quickly comprehend all the details of the work, and disposes of them with accuracy and dispatch. He will thus, as his concentrative capacity increases, enlarge his usefulness in the scheme of things, and increase his value to the world, thus inviting nobler opportunities, and opening the door to higher duties, he will also experience the joy of a wider and fuller life.” James Allen, As a Man Thinketh, Vol. 2
