I watched this video around Jan 2018 just after graduating from my undergrad, i took an action and started concentrating. By October 2019 I started consulting as a technical Advisor for DFID, OPM UK, IMF, Uganda Revenue Authority, ..... etc. The only thing i can say it works and thank you.

When someone speaks so clearly and eloquently, logically meeting all points of a topic and making it crystal clear and easily digestible to an audience, that itself is an impressive indication of their ability to concentrate. When you’re mentally aligned so staunchly to exactly what you wish to convey without even sub-moments of distraction, you’re naturally creative, funny & engaging and at the peak of your eloquence and intelligence. <br><br>In a way, I even think intelligence is simply a measure of your ability to concentrate. Why is that geniuses just shut themselves up and intensely focus on one thing they do for an extended period of time? It is a way of incubating their awareness on an object of study for so long that it yields unbelievable, magical results utterly incomprehensible to the average mind. <br><br>Yogis of the past really had it right in ancient India to develop droves of methods to articulate this lost art. Each breathing/kriya practice is engineered to center your mind and preciously improve what is termed ‘intelligence’ in today’s day and age. <br><br>Sadly this knowledge is now horribly fragmented and known minimally, the mainstream still believing yoga to be a fitness & lifestyle gimmick to their pretense-filled, exterior life. <br><br>The seriousness and grand scale of this topic is so underrated and grossly under-understood, I think it’s real time to reveal it’s true meaning and application to the deteriorating state of human affairs.

I'm really good at ignoring the distractions of my phone, schoolwork, and even my fatigue, and instead focusing exclusively on my video game.

Honestly this is one of the best TED talks I've ever seen !! I regret why I didn't see this earlier .. Its true everyone , every motivational video just tells u have to concentrate and work hard to come up in life and stuff ..but no one tells us how .. This is so informative .. Im gonna see this over and over again whenever my mind drifts away
