The HIGHEST paying skill...

On a beautiful late spring afternoon,

twenty-five years ago,

two young women graduated from the same college.?

They were very much alike,?

these two young women.

Both had been better than average students,

both were personable,?

and both —?as young college graduates are —?

were filled with ambitious dreams for the future.?

Recently, these women?

returned to their college for their 25th reunion.?

They were still very much alike.?

Both were happily married.

Both had three children.

And both,?

it turned out, had gone to work for the same German company after graduation,?

and were still there.?

But,?

there was one difference

One of the women was the manager of a small department of that company.?

The other was president ...?

where was the difference come from??

the women who became the president?

practised the highest paying skill?

and the other didn't.?

one of the greatest monks,?

Swami Vivekananda in his works?

said,?

if he can rewind his life?

and make any change

he would?

just learn and focus?

on this skill.?

According to Vivekananda

this is the highest paying skill

if you can master this skill?

you can master anything.

not only Vivekananda,?

but

-- great scientist Nikola tesla used it for success,

-- Albert Einstein practised it 14 hours a day,

-- highest-paid athlete Conor McGregor became the greatest from it. ?

-- even great warrior Arjuna,?

was the master of this skill?

and this is what differentiated him from others.

the Monks of the Himalayas were?

sitting on this one skill...

but one day,

A 75-year-old monk saw,

a new monk trying to sit, but can't.

she was very restless.

that time the old monk?

realised that?

humanity needs to practise this skill?

more than ever.?

then the old monk decided?

to send his best monks?

on a mission to help?

people to learn the skill of Concentration.?

Dandapani a modern-day monk,

entrepreneur, and speaker?

who speaks about mind, focus and willpower

in an interview revealed the right way to concentrate

Interviewer: “every human desire to be best in their field,?

want to achieve great things,?

give their parents and kids the best life

but clearly, not everybody does it??

how can they do it??

Dandapani: people can achieve whatever they desire?

only when they how to achieve it.

Interviewer: How will they know that??

Dandapani: everything works in a certain way

and so is this universe.?

the only way to do anything?

is to do it from a calm mind,?

because if you have a calm mind then only you can focus.?

Interviewer: the world is fast-paced

and a lot is happening every moment,

how can someone have a calm mind??

Dandapani: when I was becoming a monk?

for months I was told to learn only one thing?

and that is concentration.

first, they will teach you how the mind works?

and when you understand?

how the mind works then only you can control it.?

“you cannot control anything without knowing how it works”?

in modern times, they are so many things going on?

but they only affect you,?

because you let them.

we all have 24 hours?

out of which if we sleep for 8?

we have 16 left?

out of those 16

13 we practise only distraction?

and it has been going on for years?

it is a habit now,?

and then we wonder how we soo?

good at it.?

the only way to control your mind?

and don't let it control you?

is to practise concentration.

concentrate…?

you must have heard this?

from childhood from?

parents, teachers etc.?

but has anybody told you the right way to do it??

imagine?

your mind is a dark big hall with many gates

where there is no light.

behind every gate, there is a thought?

think of your awareness as a ball of light?

and whichever gate you open?

your ball of awareness will light up the room?

now if you are reading this article and thinking of having some food?

and thinking about replying to someone

then your awareness is split into 3 different gates?

now how to be more concentrated only on one thing??

whenever you are doing one thing?

just do that one thing only?

any thought comes to your mind?

-- see it coming,

-- reject it?

-- watch it go.?

so, if you talk to your friend?

for 1 hour what a great way to practise concentration?

the more you practise?

the better you will be. ?

the better you will be?

the more successful you will be in life.?

Vivekananda correctly said —

you can learn anything you want?

if you master the skill of concentration.

start today?

practise daily.?
