On one occasion, a young man said to Fabres in great distress, "I spent all my energy tirelessly on my favorite career, but I didn't get any results ..."
"It seems that you are a young man who is dedicated to science." Fabres praised.
"Yes, I like science, but I also like literature, music and art. I spent all my time. "
At this time, Fabres took out a magnifying glass from his pocket and said to him, "Try to focus your energy on one focus, just like this lens."
Only when a person is obsessed with his career and devoted to research can he truly achieve something.
Newton was doing an experiment once when a friend came to see him. After waiting for a long time, Newton didn't come out. My friend was hungry, so he ate Newton's roast chicken for lunch and left the bones on the plate. After a long time, Newton came out of the laboratory to eat. When he saw the chicken bones on the plate, he couldn't help laughing: "I thought I hadn't eaten yet, but I had already eaten."
Another time, when Newton was doing an experiment, he was hungry, so he boiled eggs and continued to do the experiment. When he wanted to eat eggs, he opened the pot and saw that it was a pocket watch. It is not surprising that Newton appeared these anecdotes when he was highly concentrated. His assistant recalled: "He seldom goes to bed before two or three o'clock, sometimes until five or six o'clock ... especially in spring or defoliation season, he often stays in the laboratory for six weeks, day and night, and the fire never goes out." He stayed up all night, stayed all night, and stayed the next night until he finished the experiment. " Newton once said, "If I make some small contributions to the world, it is not because of anything else, but because of my hard work and persistent thinking."
The famous Italian tenor Luciano? When I was a child, my father, a baker, began to teach me to sing. He encouraged me to practice hard and develop my voice. Later, in my hometown of Mondina, Italy, a man named Aligat? Paula's professional singer accepted me as his student. At that time, I was still studying in a normal college. When I graduated, I asked my father,' What should I do? "To be a teacher or a singer?" "My father answered me like this:' Luciano, if you want to sit in two chairs at the same time, you will only fall to the ground between them. You should choose a chair in life. "I chose. I resisted the pain of failure, and after seven years of study, I finally officially performed on stage for the first time. It took me another seven years to enter metropolitan opera. Now my opinion is: whether we are bricklayers or writers, no matter what occupation we choose, we must have a sense of dedication. Perseverance is the key. Choose a chair. "
The hot sunlight is not enough to make the match ignite spontaneously; Focusing on a point with a convex lens, even the winter sunshine can make matches and paper burn. With the development of science, people have further gathered a beam of light as soft as water and become an invincible laser weapon.
You see, the function and power of light have changed greatly because of this dispersion and gathering!
A person's energy and time are limited. In this case, if you don't choose the right target and run around, a few years will soon pass. If you want to make a breakthrough, you must aim at the target as quickly as you learn to shoot; Focus on a beam of light like a laser.
Some people compare diligence to the mother of success and inspiration to the father of success, and think that only by combining the two can people be born. Concentration is an indispensable companion of diligence. Concentration makes people enter the realm of selflessness, which can ensure a clear mind and concentration. This is the best physical and psychological state to deeply feel and process information. French scientist Curie said: "When I run at high speed like a buzzing top, I naturally exclude all kinds of external factors." Once a person enters a state of concentration, the whole brain revolves around an exciting center, without excluding all interference, except his favorite career, life and death, honor and disgrace, and everything is forgotten. Angels with inspiration and wisdom are often only willing to visit at this time. Without focused thinking, inspiration is hard to get.
Once you focus on one thing, people will put their limited resources into it and are not interested in other things, thus saving time and energy. This kind of concentration can keep our thinking in continuous work, and positive thinking will certainly achieve good results. At the same time, concentration will accumulate our whole body's enthusiasm, and our thinking and action will become positive and rapid.
Careless, lazy and careless people will not achieve much.
