  • Part1-ANEWBEGINNINGINLIFEWITHEINSTEINSSECRET

  • a-Concentration:theKeytoSuccess

    Concentration is thegreatsecretofpowerandsuccess.Studieshaverevealedthis surprising fact:onasampleofpeoplewhosucceedintheirlife(successinthebroadsense,thatistheyreachedagoaltheysetforthemselves,whetheritistobecomerich,toaceadifficultexamortobesuccessfulatacertainskill,etc.),ALLhadincrediblefocusability.Theirparticularitywasthatinanycondition,eventhemostdifficult(ambientnoise,stressfulsituations, limitedfurnitureorfinancialresourcesetc.),thesepeopleremainedfullyconcentrated.Butletshaveacloserlookonwhatconcentrationreallymeans.TheMerriam-Websterdefinestheactionofconcentratingasadirectingoftheattentionorofthementalfacultiestowardasingleobject.So,concentrationgivesyouthepowertoboth:

    1-achieveaspecificgoalinyourlife

    AND

    2-fullyconcentrateonwhatyouwantaslongasyouwant.

  • 1-Achieveaspecificgoalinyourlife.Youmayaskyourself:Whysomanypeoplearenotabletoachievegoalsthatreallycountforthem?.Thereasonisbecausetheyarenotabletoremainexclusivelyfocusedontheirgoalsenoughtime.Indeed, 97% of the people almost always drift from their goal day after day, because they startthinkingatearlystageaboutaback-upplanjustincasethatsomethingfails!In other words, they are adopting one of the most common and efficient way to fail: they areunconsciouslyanticipatingfailurebyputtingtheireggsinseveralbaskets.On the contrary, successful people can demonstrate enough concentration power to dedicatethemselvestotheattainmentoftheirgoalwithanunswervingsinglenessofpurpose.Theyknowhowtokeepthemainthingthemainthing,nomatterthegoaltheywanttoachievenortheamountoftimetheysetforit(aday,amonth,ayear).AsAndrewCarnegiesaid:putallyoureggsinonebasketandwatchthebasket.Beingabletoconcentrateexclusivelyandenoughtimeonthegoalyouwanttoachieveistheonlywaythatwillleadyoutosuccess.

  • 2-Fullyconcentrateonwhatyouwantaslongasyouwant.This point is about concentration applied to short durations -from severalminutesup to severalhours-.Thats why this point is generally fascinating for students (High-School, College or Universitystudents)becauseitdirectlyconcernslectures,studytimeandsuccessatexams!Indeed,agoodconcentrationgivesastudentthepowertobothreducehisstudytimeby3ormoreANDimprovesignificantlyhisgradesatthesametime.(Thisbookwillrevealyoupreciselyhowtodothis).Herearethereasonsofwhatisclaimedhere:

    ***Whyagoodconcentrationcanreduceyourstudytimeby3ormore:First,becauseahighconcentrationstatewillallowyoutogetridofdistractionsduringyourstudytimeandtostayexclusivelyfocusedonthecontentofyourstudy.Thus,youwillbeabletoresizeyourstudy-timeslotsandmakethemshorter,becausetheywillbefreefromthesetime-wastingmomentsofdistraction.Second,becausegoodconcentrationautomatically triggersgoodmemorization.Whichmeans themoreconcentratedyouareduringalecture,themoreinformationyouwillmemorize,andthelessstudytimeyouwillneedbecauseyouwonthavetomemorizethisinformationagain.Believe it or not, but anyone who has a 100% locked-in attention during a lecture is able torestituteatleast87%ofthelectureindetails.So,theresalottobetthatverysoon,youractualstudy-timeslotswillbecomeoversized,asifyouwereinashirtreallytoolargeforyou.

    ***Whyconcentrationcanimproveyourgrades:Duringanexamoranadmissiontest,youneedtomakethemostofeveryminutebecauseaofpointscanmakeallthedifferencebetweenyouandanotherstudent.Thats why having a high concentration level is crucial, because you cant afford losing a singleminutedreamingorthinkingaboutsomethingwithabsolutelynolinkwithyourexam.Moreover, a high concentration increases drastically the speed of your thinking process: you are

  • able to recall an information or to do a calculation at least twice faster than if your mind isconstantlyinterrupted.Thus, your performance soars and you automatically increase your chances to get better gradesandtohaveanadvantageoverothersinanentranceexam.

  • Best Practice 5: HOW TO INSTANTLY STOP YOURMIND FROMWANDERINGWHEN YOUNEED TOCONCENTRATE

    During a lecture or while you are studying, your mind may drift off and you may start thinkingaboutsomethingtotallydifferent(forexampleamovie,anupcomingevent,yourlunchetc).Ifyoutendbeingdistractedlikethis,itisessentialtosolvethisproblemassoonaspossible.Indeed,alotpeoplecomplainabouttheirbadmemory.Inreality,theproblemisnottheirmemorybuttheirlackofattention.If youhavedifficulties tomemorize, this oftenmeans that youhavent paid enoughattentionatwhatyouread,heardorstudied.Forinstance,imagineyourselfstartingabuscitytourinacityyouhaveneverbeenbefore.Duringthetour,yourcellphoneringsandyoustartadeepconversation inorder toorganize thebirthdaypartyofyourbestfriend.Youaretotallyabsorbedbytheconversationandyoudontpayattentiontoanydetailduringthetour.Result:When the tourends, youarepracticallyunable to rememberwhat you saw: thedifferentmonuments,places,streetsnames,shops,squaresYourattentionwasnotfocusedonthetour:yourmindwassomewhereelse.

  • So,fornotgettingdistractedandinstantlystopyourmindfromwandering,followthisgoldenrule:

    Assoonasathoughtwithnolinkwithyourstudycomestoyourmind,eliminateitimmediately.Evenifthisthoughtispleasant.Tomanagetoeliminateit,returnimmediatelyonthetopicofyourstudy.Thiswillcreateanexcellenthabit.Little by little, youwill see that the frequency of intrusive thoughtswill be close to zero, even iftheywereveryfrequentatthebeginning.

  • BestPractice6:HOWTOKEEPAFULLCONCENTRATIONDURINGATHREEHOURSLECTURE

    Hereishowtoproceed:

    BEFORETHELECTUREA few seconds before the beginning of a lecture, you should prepare yourself to have a 100%locked-inconcentration.Hereishowtoproceed,justletthe5simplestepsbelowguideyou:A)Naturally,youwillwanttoavoidtalkingunnecessarilyduringthelecture.So,trytoavoidsittingnexttotalkativepeople,inparticularsometalkativefriends.

    ACTASIFYOUWEREALONEWITHTHELECTURERANDTHENOTHINGNESSALLAROUND.

  • DURINGTHELECTUREThe secret is to have an attitude as active as possible during a lecture. If the teacher asks aquestion,trytoanswerit.Itwillincreaseyourinterestandthusyourattention.LOOKinsteadofjustseeing.Duringthelecture,payaparticularattentiontoeverydrawing,graphicorschemethattheteachercanmake.Pictures are memorized better than words and are excellent hooks for the memory: they areperfectaidsformemorizingeasilyanyconceptthatreferstothem.So,everytimeyouseeapicture,aschemeorgraphic,payattentionto it.Copyitandwritedownsomebriefexplanationsnexttoit.Haveageneral lookoneachpicture,schemeorgraphic.Whatkindofconceptorsituationdoesitrefersto?Then,haveacloserlookonitsdetails.

  • LISTENinsteadofjusthearing.At the same time, listen carefully to theexplanationsof the teacher. So, takeonlybriefnotes toavoidgettingdistractedtoolongandtokeepyourattentionfocusedontheteachersexplanations.If you dont understand something, try to understand it as soon as possible. Indeed, you cantfocusyourattentionforalongtimeonsomethingyoudontunderstand.So,trytohaveanexplanationfromyourteacherimmediately.If it is difficult (if there are toomany students), write a fast note or a symbol (for example thesymbol?)nexttothepointyoudontunderstandandaskyourteacheranexplanationattheendofthelecture.
