He should make this purpose the centralizing point ofhis thoughts. It may take the form of a spiritual ideal, or it may be aworldly object, according to his nature at the time being; but whicheverit is, he should steadily focus his thought forces upon the object whichhe has set before him. He should make this purpose his supreme duty, andshould devote himself to its attainment, not allowing his thoughts towander away into ephemeral fancies, longings, and imaginings. This is theroyal road to self-control and true concentration of thought. Even if hefails again and again to accomplish his purpose (as he necessarily mustuntil weakness is overcome), the strength of character gained will be themeasure of his true success, and this will form a new starting point forfuture power and triumph.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22745</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The hangars were not destroyed from bomb damage but it brought back a lot of little memories of that. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33220]]></link><description><![CDATA[The hangars were not destroyed from bomb damage but it brought back a lot of little memories of that.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33220</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She said some very good things.

Work well done rises like a hymn of praise to God. This means that the doctor on his rounds, the scientist in his laboratory, the teacher in his classroom, the musician at his music, the artist at his canvas, the shop assistant at his counter, the typist at her typewriter, the housewife in her kitchen -- all who are doing the work of the world as it should be done are joining in a great act of worship.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8319</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Choice has always been a privilege of those who could afford to pay for it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1028]]></link><description><![CDATA[Choice has always been a privilege of those who could afford to pay for it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1028</guid></item></channel></rss>
