“The best strategy is always to be very strong; first in general then at the decisive point…There is no higher & simpler law of strategy than that of keeping ones forces concentrated…in short the first principle is: Act with the upmost concentration.”
“Beware of dissipating your powers; strive constantly to concentrate them. Genius thinks it can do whatever it sees others doing, but it is sure to repent of every ill-judged outlay”. (Johann Van Goethe).
“The world is plagued by greater and greater division – within countries, political groups, families, individuals. We are all in a state of total distraction and diffusion, hardly able to keep our minds in one direction before we are pulled in a thousand others. The modern worlds level of conflict is higher than ever, and we have internalized it on our own lives. The solution is a form of retreat inside ourselves, to the past, to more concentrated forms of thought and action”.
The Arrow: You cannot hit two targets with one arrow. If your thoughts stray, you miss the enemies heart. Mind and arrow must become one. Only with such concentration of mental and physical power can your arrow hit the target and pierce the heart.
