The more curiosity you have about the world and about things around you, the better your concentration will be.

• Draw a dot on a piece of paper and put it in front of you or pin it to a wall. Now concentrate on it. One of two things will happen – your field of vision will blur so that you will not really see anything or you will find yourself looking at anything but the dot. However, ask yourself some questions about the dot – how big is it, what shape, what color, etc., while you are looking at it, successive questions in your mind and you will find that you concentrate on it for much longer
