"Stop worrying about whether you are going to win or lose and focus your full attention on what is happening right this moment."-Phil Jackson(11 world championships-coach, 2 world championships-Player, 2 High-school championships-player.)

The quote is attempting to convey the idea that an individual must focus upon their present objective in order to succeed. The present represents our current events, the decisions we abide by during the present can severely effect our future. Many individuals who are preoccupied with several unimportant aspects within their objective usually cannot devote enough of their time in order to properly complete the objective, these minuscule preoccupations can manifest themselves as obstacles within our lives if we are not able to prioritize and devote our efforts toward our present goals. Suppose a child is intent upon winning a certain competition he cannot properly cooperate with his teammates during the competition, this ambition therefore creates an obstacle within the life of this individual. Therefore we must be able to prioritize and devote our effort onto the present objectives.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Jackson

"To be great--Concentrate."-Orson swett Marden

The statement is attempting to convey the idea that concentration is essential toward success. I believe the claim of the statement. Concentration is the ability to devote your effort upon one activity or multiple activities. The word concentration is mostly utilized with in the confines of an academic institution and in order to evaluate the learning patterns of the alumni. In order to succeed many essential traits are required and one of them is the ability to concentrate. Concentration allows and individual to completely devote himself upon a goal he or she is attempting to achieve, concentration is different from determination because concentration is usually attributed with visual perception of your goal and your physical involvement. A method in which concentration is evaluated or observed is through the use of children, suppose you are attempting to evaluate the concentration skills of two children, so you observe the time in which they can solve a puzzle with in a noisy environment, when one child finishes the puzzle that child is declared the winner and therefore is assumed to have the greater amount of concentration.
