The
master of a single trade can support a family. The
master of seven trades cannot support himself. The
wind is never for the sailor who knows not to what
port he is bound.

The
great difference between those who succeed and those
who fail does not consist in the amount of work done
by each but in the amount of intelligent work. Many
of those who fail most ignominiously do enough to
achieve grand success but they labor haphazardly at
whatever they are assigned, building up with one
hand to tear down with the other. They do not grasp
circumstances and change them into opportunities.
They have no faculty for turning honest defeats into
telling victories. With ability enough and ample
time, the major ingredients of success, they are
forever throwing back and forth an empty shuttle and
the real web of their life is never woven.

It is
those who concentrates on but one thing at a time
who advance in this world. The great man or woman is
the one who never steps outside his or her specialty
or foolishly dissipates his or her individuality.

Concentration is the factor that causes the great
discrepancy between men and the results they
achieve... the difference in their power of calling
together all the rays of their ability and
concentrating on one point.
