14 集中力とは何か
10 Besides the intellect, the power of concentration is a very
important quality, which few people acquire except throug
education. It is true that it develops naturally to some extent, bu
people are not likely to acquire enough concentration without a
5 long period of intellectual education.
2 There are three qualities which distinguish perfect concentra
tion from imperfect concentration: perfect concentration should be
intense, prolonged and voluntary. Intensity is illustrated by the
story of Archimedes. He is said to have taken no notice when
10 the Romans came to kill him, because he was absorbed in a
mathematical problem and bent on solving it. To be able to
concentrate on the same thing for a long time is essential to
difficult achievement. As long as the object is of great interest,
this is brought about naturally.
15 Most people can work on a mechanical puzzle for a long time;
but this is not in itself very useful. To be really valuable, the
concentration must also be under the control of the will. I think
18 it is above all the control of the will that is nurtured by education.
