He should make this purpose the centralizing point ofhis thoughts. It may take the form of a spiritual ideal, or it may be aworldly object, according to his nature at the time being; but whicheverit is, he should steadily focus his thought forces upon the object whichhe has set before him. He should make this purpose his supreme duty, andshould devote himself to its attainment, not allowing his thoughts towander away into ephemeral fancies, longings, and imaginings. This is theroyal road to self-control and true concentration of thought. Even if hefails again and again to accomplish his purpose (as he necessarily mustuntil weakness is overcome), the strength of character gained will be themeasure of his true success, and this will form a new starting point forfuture power and triumph.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22745</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They had a clear idea about what I really wanted to see, based on our initial conversations, and they did ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33323]]></link><description><![CDATA[They had a clear idea about what I really wanted to see, based on our initial conversations, and they did a great job.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33323</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We were down 6-0 to a pretty good pitcher (Pat McCoy).
