WRITE DOWN YOUR GOALS!!!Goals can be:1. short-term--up to one year.2. mid-term--up to three years.3. long-term--up to five years.

Concentration sharpens ones ability to acquire knowledge, think and reflect profoundly.

It is imperative that you start working on your concentration. It is a tool, which helps a person to logically comprehend things, and takes one to infinite wisdom.

A conscious effort is the only way which helps one in overcoming lack of concentration. Consider spending more time on your work especially anything theoretical with the intention of sitting for at least 30 minutes.

In your free time start doing calculations mentally and ensure you keep yourself busy all the time with a particular task in hand. Consider meditating every day for at least 15 minutes.

45-80Your concentration level is good but it is confined to the

things of immense interest to you. This makes you feel at times sharp and at other times

restless. Please don’t get complacent with your level of concentration rather start spending more time on the task and do this gradually, for instance if you are spending 40 minutes on a task start spending 45 minutes.

Your body and mind may resist however concentrate for those extra 5 minutes. However once you are able to sit for stipulated time you would see a phenomenal progress in your concentration in just three months.

85-120• Congratulations, you are very few of those in this

dynamic world who can religiously focus despite several distractions around.

• You know, the art of concentration and expectantly aware of the power behind it. You are one of those who would like to search intensively and explore every detail.

• up the good work and you shall keep gaining knowledge at a rocket speed. Similarly, start also concentrating on things which you don’t have much interest in and you would not only see your power of concentration progress but you will also start getting interested in them.

CONCLUSION

1. President of the largest steel company, Charles Schwab, lived on borrowed capital for

five years before he died bankrupt.

2. President of the largest gas company, Howard Hubon, went insane.

• What they forgot was how to make a life! It is stories like this that give the readers the false impression that money is the root of all evil. That is not true. Money provides food for the hungry, medicine for the sick, clothes for the needy. Money is only a medium of exchange.

• We need two kinds of education. One that teaches us how to make a living and one that teaches us how to live.
