Alexander Graham BellConcentrate all your thoughts upon the work in hand. The Sun's rays do not burn until brought to a focus
About This Quote
The sun's rays do not burn until brought to a focus. The concentration necessary to accomplish a task is a powerful tool. When we are working on something, we need to focus all of our efforts and energy on what we are doing. It is important to keep that "sun" focused on the "work". If your thoughts wander off, you will fail to complete your task.
