CONCENTRATION
Hi! My name is Harry Newton. My ancestor, Isaac Newton, figured out that every action has an equal an opposite reaction. And I feel proud to let you all know more about my ancestor.
Concentrate kid, concentrate if u doesn't concentrate you can never get good ranking. The competition is so very tough these days, that you are all but whiling away your time playing cricket, watching movies, wasting your time? Hey!! Haven't we heard all the parents & teachers saying so hundreds and hundreds of times? Don't you want to be successful & world famous as Isaac Newton?
I'm sure all of us in our lower classes have come across his gravitational theory & his three well-known laws of Motion? I bet we much just have forcibly given an entry to these theories without understanding or concentrating on how he formulated them.
Sir Isaac Newton was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He had his own hardships which ignited in him a passion to learn, know more and more. Infect his thirst to know more was so deep that he would sit in his library digesting in the knowledge stored in those books which were considered by others merely a collection to store books of information but make no effort to gain them. This childlike curiosity led him to make some very important discoveries. It was almost like any other day, when Newton was absorbed in his books which in future could lay the greatest foundation for Physics. A bright sunny afternoon, when there was a knock at the door. There was a visitor, of course a friend of Newton who had come over to have lunch with him. Hour after hour passed with no sign of the scientist coming out of his study room to greet his friend or to have his lunch. The lunch prepared for the guest and Newton was turning cold and thus assuming that Newton would not turn up for lunch, his friend finished off his lunch and went back without meeting his host. So engrossed was Newton involved in studying and working with experiments that it was after a gap of two hours did he realize that he had missed his lunch. As he walked towards the dining table where the lunch had been arranged, he found out that everything was empty, looked liked as if it had been clean washed. Shrugging his shoulders in merry, Newton infect blessed his memory for not forgetting to have his lunch.
It was not that he was foolish to forget such a small thing but it was his genuine concentration and his devotion to the process of learning and studying which made him invent and discover great things, which seemed to be not less than a miracle in those times. A Salute to the world's renowned scientist who gave in his life for Science and Humanity.
See, you need not have almonds for memory, tonics for increasing your interest in studies all that you have to inculcate in you 6 virtues for gaining concentration. The greatness and right to know and gain knowledge. Tolerance to pursue until you reach your dream to turn into reality. And all but of course 'Detachment' from distractions.
Cultivate in you these virtues and am sure the day is not far off when we can have more and more of Isaac Newton's all over the world.
