Reversal
There are dangers in concentration, and moments when dispersion is the proper tactical move. Fighting the Nationalists for control of China, Mao Tse-tung and the Communists fought a protracted war on several fronts, using sabotage and ambush as their main weapons. Dispersal is often suitable for the weaker side; it is, in fact, a crucial principle of guerrilla warfare. When fighting a stronger army, concentrating your forces only makes you an easier target better to dissolve into the scenery and frustrate your enemy with the elusiveness of your presence.
Authority: Prize intensity more than extensity. Perfection resides in quality, not quantity. Extent alone never rise above mediocrity, and it is the misfortune of men with wide general interests that while they would like to have their finger in every pie, they have one in none. Intensity gives eminence, and rises to the heroic in matters sublime. (Baltasar Gracian, 1601-1658
Image: The Arrow. You cannot hit two targets with one arrow. If your thoughts stray, you miss the enemy's heart. Mind and arrow must become one. Only with such concentration of mental and physical power can your arrow hit the target and pierce the heart.
It is enough to strike oil once your wealth and power are assured for a lifetime.
Finally, power itself always exists in concentrated forms. In any organization it is inevitable for a small group to hold the stings. And often it is not those with the titles. In the game of power, only the fool flails about without fixing his target. You must find out who controls the operations, who is the real director behind the scenes. As Richelieu discovered at the beginning of his rise to the top of the French political scene during the early seventeenth century, it was not King Louis XIII who decided things, it was the king's mother. And so he attached himself to her, and catapulted through the ranks of the courtiers, all the way to the top.
All the great Renaissance painters and writers wrestled with this problem, none more so than the sixteenth-century writer Pietro Aretino. Throughout his life Aretino suffered the indignities of having to please this prince and that. At last, he had had enough, and decided to woo Charles V, promising the emperor the services of his powerful pen. He finally discovered the freedom that came from attachment to a single source of power. Michelangelo found this freedom with Pope Julius II, Galileo with the Medicis, In the end, the single patron appreciates your loyalty and becomes dependent on your services; in the long run the master serves the slave.
El amor es paciente, es bondadoso. El amor no es envidioso ni presumido ni orgulloso. No se comporta con rudeza, no es egoísta, no se enoja fácilmente, no guarda rencor. El amor no se deleita en la maldad, sino que se regocija con la verdad. Todo lo disculpa, todo lo cree, todo lo espera, todo lo soporta.
Porque habéis sido comprados por precio; glorificad, pues, a Dios en vuestro cuerpo y en vuestro espíritu, los cuales son de Dios.
Mr. Disney's crazy one. After that loved Palm Springs in 1954. weekly people want Park
Concentrate on a single goal, a single task, and beat it into submission. In the world of power you will constantly need help from other people, usually those more powerful than you. The fool flits from one person to another, believing that he will survive by spreading himself out. It is a corollary of the law of concentration, however, that much energy is saved, and more power is attained, by affixing yourself to a single, appropriate source of power. The scientist Nikola Tesla ruined himself by believing that he somehow maintained his independence by not having to serve a single master. He even turned down J. P. Morgan, who offered him a rich contract. In the end, Tesla's "independence" meant that he could depend on no single patron, but was always having to today up to a dozen of them. Later in his life he realized his mistake.
Casnova attributed his success in life to his ability to concentrate on a single goal and push at it until it yielded. It was his ability to give himself over completely to the women he desired that made him so intensely seductive. For the weeks or months that one of these women lived in his orbit, he thought of no one else. When he was imprisoned in the treacherous "leads" of the doge's palace in Venice, a prison from which no one had ever escaped, he concentrated his mind on the single goal of escape, day after day. A change of cells, which meant that months of digging had all been for naught, did not discourage him; he persisted and eventually escaped. I have always believed," he later wrote, "that when a man gets it into his head to do something, and when he exclusively occupies himself in that design, he must succeed, whatever the difficulties. That man will become Grand Vizier or Pope."

this how does tape work by andreon toon
and Vincent
laa tape is a common adhesive it was
invented to be a less permanent and
easier to apply version of glue by
adding a piece another a different piece
of material on the back of the glue it's
able to quickly be applied rather than
glue which needs to be held together and
takes a long
time it is used in many different areas
it's used in areas from mounting
decorations holding paper together
to
Industrial on the more techical side
tape is a vis elastic material this
means that when pressure is applied to
the tape it flows more like a liquid but
when the pressure is released it regains
its properties of a
solid for some terminology the back the
substrate is the material that the tape
is attaching
to tapes are primarily composed of two
different parts first is the backbone
which is the fiber or any other material
which actually holds the tape
on and then there's the adhesive this is
the glue or or different part which
actually does the adhering and sticking
there are four primary ways this these
tapes adhere first is Vander Wall's
adhesion which uses small charges to
attract to the to the substrate then
there's mechanical adhesion in
mechanical adhesion the visual elastic
material flows and fills and pores
creating sort of little
hooks then there's diffusion
where the tape chemically reacts to the
polymers in the substrate and the
backbone and Inter Tangles them creating
a permanent attachment finally is
electrostatic electrostatic uses very
strong charges to stick but is less
permanent firstly we have Vander wal's
adhesion this uses charges these charges
can be dipole dipole use hydrogen bonds
or primarily ldfs lond dispersion forces
occur when there's an uneven
distribution of electrons causing a
temporary dipole to form this is shown
in the structure of acrylic adhesives
which are an example of Vander walls
adhesives in the chemical
structure the long chain with many
branches allows it to have very strong
ldfs in addition the hydrogen bonds
present throughout the molecule allow to
have even more charge creating a better
attachment next mechanical adhesives
these rely on pores in a subject in the
substrate surface these ports can be
microscopic but the way it works is
through wetting wetting is the process
of the visil elastic adhesive flowing
out onto the surface of the substrate
and filling in the little pores this
allows it to grip edges and
Imperfections and get a good grip this
forms you can basically think of it as
little tiny like hooks like if it has
any overhangs on the pores it can grip
those allowing it to stick and then when
the pressure is released it regains its
solid properties allowing a strong bond
there are several different ways these
are made first we have natural rubber
this is the simplest of all of
them next we have NBR NBR is a pretty
similar structure to Natural rubber
except it has the addition of some
chains over here and
branches spr has the same base as both
the previous ones but instead of
branches on this side it has a carbon
ring formed here finally we have be or
BR this is again very similar to all the
others except has the addition of
ch3 and branches in three different
areas diffusion is pretty similar to
Mechanical except it uses chemical
reactions too it's able to penetrate the
The solution is a form of retreat inside ourselves, to the past, to more concentrated forms of thought and action. As Schopenhauer wrote, "Intellect is a magnitude of intensity, not a magnitude of extensity." Napoleon knew the value of concentrating your forces at the enemy's weakest spot it was the secret of his success on the battlefield. But his willpower and his mind were equally modeled on this notion. Single-mindedness of purpose, total concentration on the goal, and the use of these qualities against people less focused, people in a state of distraction such an arrow will find its mark every time and overwhelm the enemy.
Keys To Power
The world is plagued by greater and greater division within countries, political groups, families, even individuals. We are all in a state of total distraction and diffusion, hardly able to keep our minds in one direction before we are pulled in a thousand others. The modern world's level of conflict is higher than ever, and we have internalized it our own lives.
Is positive thinking an inherent characteristic of a person or can it be developed in one's psyche? The opinions differ in answering this vital question. Some people believe that it can be inherited from parents, and cannot be developed. Others believe that like other qualities it can be developed with proper practice and guidance. Still some others hold the opinion that it is hereditary to some extent but can be acquired to some degree.
There is also a section of people, who believe that all depends on circumstances or luck. We need to adopt a scientific approach to find an answer to the above question. No one can get success every time even after making efforts, nor can one fail constantly. Moreover, success has different meaning for different people. For some students, getting 60 per cent marks is success, for others it may not be sufficient. In a competitive examination, success means getting selected, whatever the percentage of marks. As for inheritance theory, since positive attitude is not a physical feature but a mental faculty, it cannot be purely hereditary. It can be developed.
Furthermore, parents play a major role in developing this quality of a child. A child, who watches his parents working hard, having faith in success through their words, behaviour and body language, is likely to develop a similar attitude.
The children of short-tempered, over-cautious and nervous parents may assume similar characteristics when they grow up. Psychologists, therefore, prescribe a code of conduct for parents' behaviour in front of their children. They must exude confidence, self-belief and hope, especially in difficult situation, so that the children emulate these qualities. They must be taught the importance of being positive before, during and after the performance of a task. There is no better education for a child than watching his parents came out of a tough situation by means of earnest endeavours. Such Success not only gives more joy but also increases self-confidence.;
