Power of concentration

Steve waugh has written his autobiography which has been published recently.Quite routine for a celebrity to bring out his life story, you may say. Right, but the review had something interesting which caught my attention. Steve Waugh says this about what it takes to be a world class cricketer.... 'For a few seconds everything around me is quiet and still;all i can see is the red ball hurling towards me; i concentrate only on that ball and my entire being is focussed on handling that ball;it is bliss'.Have we not heard the story of Arjuna and how he was able to see only the red beak of the bird and nothing else, when he was asked to train his arrow on that bird?This is exactly what had differentiated and marked him as superior to the other brothers.
The narration was so similar that i was stuck by the same. So it is apparent then and it is obvious now that for anyone to succeed in a particular field, utter and single minded concentration on that particular target is an absolute must .It also calls for unwavering commitment to the object not once but everytime called upon to perform the task.
Blessed are the fellows who have experienced this utter and absolute bliss, pursuing some goal singlemindedly.
It is not easy; but then success never is.
