You know that there are two types of dogs. One is a street dog that keeps running non-stop and the other is an Alsatian well-bred dog that watches the house stealthily.
Our unfocussed mind is always on the move like a street dog embracing one thought after the other non-stop. An ability to focus is to have one ‘thought-process’ which means one thought continuing until its execution.
Let us take the example of a tiger. We can observe the way it focusses before it charges after its prey. What it does before it attacks its prey is a typical example of ‘focus’! It watches the prey by holding its breath, stealthily positioning itself solely fixing its eyesight and hearing on the prey. It will have only one thought at that time that is of prey, its movement, its ability to run and plan to catch it in its spirited sprint.
How does a tiger get this focus?
It has no other thought at that moment except its prey. This focus has come to it because it is hungry and if it loses this chance it does not know when the next opportunity is going to be open for it.
你知道有两种狗。一只是不停奔跑的流浪狗，另一只是一只阿尔萨斯的良种狗，它会暗地里看着房子。
我们的注意力不集中，就像不停地拥抱一个又一个想法的流浪狗。集中注意力的能力是有一个“思考过程”，这意味着一个想法一直持续到它被执行。
让我们以老虎为例。我们可以观察到它在攻击猎物之前集中注意力的方式。它在攻击猎物之前所做的就是“专注”的典型例子！它通过屏住呼吸来观察猎物，悄悄地把自己的视线和听觉固定在猎物身上。那时它只有一个念头，那就是猎物，它的运动，它奔跑的能力，并计划在冲刺中抓住猎物。
老虎是如何获得这种关注的？
在那一刻，除了它的猎物，它没有别的想法。这种关注是因为它很饿，如果它失去了这个机会，它不知道下一个机会什么时候会为它敞开。

Motivation behind focus
We have a built-in motivation centre in the limbic lobe. It is also called a reward centre. Have you observed dolphins in the water wold? The trainer always tosses in a fish as soon as the dolphin completes its feat. As soon as the fish is tossed into its mouth, dopamine is released in its reward centre called ‘Nucleus accumbens’. A sudden spurt of this chemical will activate a series of connections which motivate the dolphin to take up another task with zeal.
Extrapolating this to a human being, it is very essential to positively motivate youngsters to successfully undertake the job that stimulates the inner fire of triumph and success. It becomes the focus the mind. Focussing the mind means activating that particular set of connections in the brain synchronizing with grit and determination to achieve the set aim.
你知道吗，由于饥饿和缺乏基本需求，在贫困中长大的孩子会不惜任何代价让自己生存下去和获得财富?这些先天不足 迫使他们集中精力，采取“要么干，要么死”的策略。
关注背后的动机
我们的大脑边缘叶有一个内置的动机中心。它也被称为奖励中心。你在水中观察过海豚吗?驯兽师总是在海豚完成它的壮举后马上扔进一条鱼。一旦鱼被扔进它的嘴里，多巴胺就会在它的奖赏中枢“伏隔核”中释放出来。这种化学物质的突然爆发会激活一系列的联系，激发海豚以热情从事另一项任务。
以此类推，积极激励年轻人成功地从事工作是非常必要的，这能激发内心的胜利和成功之火。它成为大脑的焦点。集中注意力意味着激活大脑中特定的一组连接，与毅力和决心同步，以实现既定目标。
First let us see, what is this focus?
One thought and resolve to complete it successfully is indeed the focus.
For the focus, as I described above, motivation is necessary.
To have a strong motivation, one must have actually experienced the pain of the absence of that obxt or condition. I gave the examples of hunger motivating the tiger and poverty motivating a boy to become rich.
Hunger, poverty and social discrimination are the natural stimuli of ‘proper focus’. Motivation is not a routine habit but a burning desire to achieve something as the pain of not having it is too much to bear. Take the example of freedom fighters of India. They were oppressed by a foreign rule. They had suffered too much. They wanted to get out of that situation at any cost. The oppression was motivation. They went to jails and they suffered too much. Many of them sacrificed their lives in the process. They had the right cause which motivated them.
为什么我们很难集中注意力？
首先让我们看看，这个焦点是什么？
一心一意，决心完成它确实是重点。
正如我在上文所述，对于焦点而言，动机是必要的。
要有强烈的动机，一个人必须真正经历过缺少那个对象或条件的痛苦。我举了饥饿激励老虎捕食和贫困激励男孩致富的例子。
饥饿、贫困和社会歧视是“适当关注”的自然刺激因素。动机不是一种习惯，而是一种强烈的渴望，因为没有它的痛苦太多了，无法忍受。以印度的自由战士为例。他们受到外国统治的压迫。他们遭受了太多的痛苦。他们想不惜一切代价摆脱这种局面。压迫是动机。他们进了监狱，遭受了太多的痛苦。他们中的许多人在这个过程中牺牲了自己的生命。他们有正确的动机来激励他们。
Modern youth are so abnormally waylaid that they don’t even care their nation which got independence after so much of sacrifice. It is because the sense of reality is buried under the debris of the obxtive ocean. Corruption has become so rampant because our focus on permanence is replaced by temporary pleasures. No corrupt person is permanently happy.
Becoming corrupt has become a habit. Buying something on loan is a habit.
以印度的现状为例。我们正与科技的发展保持同步。每个人都有一部智能手机。整个宇宙都掌握在他/她的手中。他们的动机是Facebook上的点赞或关注者数量。毫无疑问，伏隔核会释放多巴胺，并在很短的时间内获得快感。他们希望持续不断地享受这种快乐。在这个过程中，他们沉迷于这种快乐。有趣的是，一种快乐一结束，大脑就准备好迎接下一种快感。它想要持续不断地获得这种快感。每一种快乐都有它自己的思想。一种快乐的想法一旦停止，另一种快乐的想法就会取而代之，它就想要持续不断地获得这种快感。这是因为几乎在14个小时里，存在一种对大脑的感官劫持。我们花了太多的时间去了解电影演员、亚马逊购物、电视、电影和黄色电影，以至于大脑完全混乱了。这对我们的注意力造成了毁灭性的影响。现代人无法集中注意力，因为客观干扰因素太多。分心已经成为一种习惯。
现代年轻人被如此不正常地“伏击”，以至于他们甚至不关心自己的国家，这个国家在经历了非常多牺牲后获得了独立。这是因为真实感被埋藏在客观海洋的碎片之下。腐败之所以如此猖獗，是因为我们对永恒的关注被暂时的快乐所取代，但是没有一个腐败的人是永远幸福的。
腐败已成为一种习惯。借钱买东西是一种习惯。

Anything repeated good or bad becomes a habit.
Media is playing with our brain connections
The brain has got certain special features. One of them strangely is the belief in that which is repeatedly presented to it. Even if it is detrimental to his interest, it does not matter. It believes in that which is presented to it endlessly. That is what our media is doing now in India. They are spreading the unreal facts such as India is no longer secular. The whole world has started believing it. I can bet you that there is no other religion in the universe which is as democratic as Hinduism. If you want to go to the temple, you can go and if you don’t want, that is fine. It has material for every person of every walk of life. There are religions which convert Hindus into their religions. Hindus simply don’t bother because their religion has told them to see God in every being. Other religions want Hindus to remain ignorant and docile until all Hindus are converted. A small assertion from Hindus that we also want to exist like others has caused all this hue and cry. It is not their fault. It is the habit that is ingrained in their brains by their religions. Be sure, let it be anything, if we repeat it, it is encoded as a habit in the brain. (I will agree that there are some social discrepancies in Hinduism due to the caste system. This is because of the brain synaptic plasticity of habit enforced on simple people by some petty selfish individuals who thought themselves to be intelligent) We have to fight it out but not dubbing the Hindu religion as intolerant. The word tolerance will disappear if Hinduism were to take a back seat. This is the only religion and the other one is Buddhism which do not convert others into their religions. They are the most human-loving religions. The humanity comes under the dominations of false beliefs from time to time which is ingrained as a habit in the races.
习惯是不需要动机的
任何重复的好行为或坏行为都会成为一种习惯。
媒体在玩弄我们的大脑连接
大脑有一些特殊的特征。奇怪的是，其中一个奇怪的是对反复呈现在它面前的信仰。即使这损害了他的利益，也没有关系。它相信无休止地呈现在它面前的东西。这就是我们的媒体现在在印度所做的。他们在散布不真实的事实，比如印度不再是世俗的。全世界都开始相信它了。我可以跟你打赌，宇宙中没有其他宗教像印度教一样民主。如果你想去寺庙，你可以去，如果你不想去，也没关系。它为各行各业的每个人提供了人才。有些宗教使印度教徒皈依他们的宗教。印度教徒根本不介意，因为他们的宗教告诉他们要在每个人身上看到上帝。其他宗教希望印度教徒保持无知和温顺，直到所有印度教徒皈依。印度教的一个小主张，即我们也希望像其他人一样存在，造成了这种大规模的大声抗议，这不是他们的错。这是一种因宗教而在他们头脑中根深蒂固的习惯。当然，不管是什么，如果我们重复它，它就会被编码为大脑中的一种习惯。(我同意印度教由于种姓制度存在一些社会差异。这是因为一些自以为是聪明的自私小人强加给普通人的大脑突触可塑性习惯）我们必须斗争到底，但不认为印度教是不宽容的。如果印度教退居次要地位，“容忍”一词将消失。这是唯一的宗教，另一个是佛教—它不让其他人皈依自己的宗教。他们是最爱人类的宗教。人类不时受到错误信念的支配，而这些错误信念已成为种族中根深蒂固的一种习惯。
Habit is due to the connections of neurons coming together by the constant repetition of the same act. It is something like walking in the woods. Keep walking in the same path, a footpath is formed and later you will never leave that path and never dare to walk through bushes again. The formation of such paths among the neurons of our brain is the mechanism of habit formation.
Same thoughts which are repeated become our desires ( because of strengthened neuronal connections in the brain). These desires become our actions. Repeated actions become our habits. (Habits are very strong connections developed in our brain and it becomes almost impossible to beat the habits.
We are habituating ourselves to material possession and temporary repeatable pleasures. This has taken away our focus. Even as one thought process stops the other one is ready to take over. it is said that about 62000 thoughts appear in our mind. How can we focus on 62000 things in a day? It has robbed our focus.
Democracy which is such a beautiful evolution in human life has led every citizen to a life of circuitous intrusive thoughts and not thoughts of higher aspiration.
To have a focus, we should have a burning desire to achieve the aimed destination. That destination should be permanent. If the aim is to enjoy the temporary physical pleasures, the focus can never be generated because there is no end to these pleasures. They come and go and they never come and stay with us.
什么是习惯？
习惯是由于神经元通过不断重复同一行为而连接在一起的结果。这有点像在森林里散步，持续走同一条路，一条小径就形成了，之后你就再也不敢离开那条小径，再也不敢穿过灌木丛。在我们大脑的神经元之间形成这样的通路就是习惯形成的机制。
重复的想法变成了我们的欲望(因为大脑中神经元的连接加强了)。这些欲望变成了我们的行为。重复的行为成为我们的习惯。（习惯是我们大脑中形成的非常紧密的联系，而且几乎不可能改掉这些习惯）。
我们习惯于物质占有和暂时的可重复的快乐。这转移了我们的注意力。即使一个思维过程停止，另一个也准备接手。据说大约有62000个想法出现在我们的脑海中。我们怎样才能一天专注于62000件事情？它剥夺了我们的注意力。
民主是人类生活中如此美好的进化，它使每个公民的生活中都有迂回的干扰思想，而不是更高的抱负。
为了有一个焦点，我们应该有一个实现目标的强烈愿望。这个目的地应该是永久的。如果目标是享受暂时的身体快感，那么焦点永远不会产生，因为这些快感没有尽头。他们来了又走，从不来和我们在一起。
How to increase the focus?
Every individual should be exposed to severe military training and nationalistic attitude. They should know how difficult it is to have freedom. Misuse of freedom is the doorway to anarchy and death.
False Education System
Our education system is false. We have to introduce the science of ‘subject’ in schools. Who are we? Even a child should be able to discuss. Every child has to work in a hospital and render service to patients. Corrupt officials, if proved beyond doubt, have to be executed. There should not be any mercy and this will make others scared. Nothing works if fear is not there. The teaching of basic tenets of every religion has to be presented to all students so that they come to know about other religions. A strong national feeling has to be inculcated among the students and teachers. These changes bring about changes in brain connections. This has to be taught to children. It takes at least 25 to 40 years for social reformation.
Focus is there with those who are happy with what they have, and who have developed a sense of gratitude for their possessions. People with simple living and high thinking have to be respected which motivates the youngsters to emulate them.
Thank you
毫不奇怪，现代年轻人因为大脑的感官劫持而失去了注意力，他们获得了现成的自由，他们暴露在一切感官刺激下。他们是感官贫乏的人，没有丰富的思想。
如何增加关注度？
每个人都应该接受严格的军事训练和民族主义态度。他们应该知道拥有自由是多么困难。滥用自由是通向无政府状态和死亡的大门。
错误的教育系统
我们的教育制度是错误的。我们必须在学校里引入“学科”这门科学。我们是谁?即使是孩子也应该有讨论的能力。每个孩子都必须在医院工作，为病人服务。如果证据确凿，腐败官员将被处死，而不应该有任何怜悯，这才会让其他人害怕。如果没有恐惧，什么都不起作用。必须向所有学生讲授每种宗教的基本教义，以便他们了解其他宗教。必须向学生和教师灌输强烈的民族感情。这些变化带来了大脑连接的变化。这必须教给孩子们，社会改革至少需要25至40年。
关注那些对他们所拥有的感到快乐的人，以及那些对他们所拥有的东西产生感恩之心的人。生活简朴、思想高尚的人必须受到尊重，这促使年轻人效仿他们。
非常感谢。

Originally Answered: What can we do to increase our concentration?
Story Time:
Last Friday, I was playing with a needle and I accidentally pricked my thumb.
I went to the office. My manager assigned me some task. The moment I started typing from keyboard I felt the pain in my thumb.
Even though it was a minor injury, it was enough to divert my concentration from my work.
After lunch, my manager asked about the progress of my work (which was almost zero).
He said, “It is urgent, Ashish”. I need you to complete it by the end of the day, so that we can deliver it to our onsite team.
In the three hours prior to lunch, I hadn’t done anything. But by the end of the day, I completed my work and delivered my code to onsite team.
最初的回答是：我们能做些什么来提高注意力？
故事时间：
上周五，我在玩针头，不小心刺伤了拇指。
我去了办公室。我的经理分配给我一些任务。从我开始用键盘打字的那一刻起，我感到拇指疼痛。
虽然只是一个小伤，但足以分散我工作的注意力。
午饭后，我的经理问我的工作进度（几乎没做）。
他说：“这很紧急，Ashish。”。我需要你在当天下班前完成，以便我们能够将其交付给我们的现场团队。
在午餐前的三个小时里，我什么都没做。但在当天下班前时，我完成了我的工作，并将代码交付给了现场团队。
So what just happened here?
Suddenly I forgot my pain and I concentrated only on my work.
Pain was there.
Work was there.
Initially my priority was my pain.
And then, priority shifted to my work.
This is what happens with concentration.
It is all about priority.
When you start studying and then suddenly you open Quora, Youtube or Facebook, you get diverted because study is not your priority for that moment.
故事结束了。
刚才发生了什么？
突然，我忘记了自己的痛苦，只专注于工作。
疼痛就在那里。
工作就在那里。
起初，我的首要任务是我的痛苦。
然后，优先权转移到了我的工作上。
这就是注意力集中的情况。
这都是关于优先权的。
当你开始学习，然后突然打开Quora、Youtube或Facebook时，你会被转移注意力，因为学习在那一刻不是你的首要任务。
Concentration is nothing but a disease inside our brain, which keeps reminding us our priorities.
How to increase your concentration?
Increase your priority.
If it is important to you, you will find a way.
If not, you will find an excuse.
但在考试期间，即使家里有家庭聚会或婚礼，你也不敢从学习中转移注意力。
注意力只不过是我们大脑中的一种疾病，它不断提醒我我们优先考虑的事情。
如何提高你的注意力？
增加优先级。
如果这对你很重要，你会找到办法的。
如果没有，你会找到借口。
Focus is directly proportional to the ‘want' of doing work.
Focus will automatically be created if you stay calm.
Don't try to do things fast.
Studying for a lot of hours won't work, if you lose focus in couple of minutes.
Try to study in gaps rather than for long hours.
Always keep your surroundings clean and minimal which helps in focusing one thing.
专注度和工作的“欲望”成正比。
如果你保持冷静，注意力就会自动集中。
不要试图做得太快。
如果你在几分钟内注意力不集中，那么长时间的学习是无法集中注意力的。
试着在间隙间学习，而不是长时间学习。
始终保持你周围环境的干净和最小干扰，这有助于专注于一件事。
Make a list of things you want to day in a day and try to do one thing at a time, don't do multi-tasking.
The best and the most important thing we should do to increase focus and discipline as well is to meditate meditate and meditate. Don't think about anything just empty your mind and meditate. It will increase focus from time to time, ofcourse it won't increase focus just in a day or two but it will work if you be consistent.
These were some.of the points which can take a note on to increase your focus in studies or anything else you want do it at a time.
对你每天做的每一件事都要有纪律，这不仅有助于你集中注意力，而且会让你更有效率。
把你每天想做的事情列一个清单，一次只做一件事，不要同时做多个任务。
为了提高注意力和纪律，我们应该做的最好也是最重要的事情就是冥想，冥想，再冥想。不要想任何事，清空你的大脑，冥想就好。它会时不时地提高你的注意力，当然，它不会在一两天内就提高注意力，但如果你坚持的话，它会起作用的。
这些是一些可以记下来的要点，在你学习或做任何你想要做的事情时可以用来提高注意力。
This is somethings everyone knows, but not everyone follows.
Stop Social Media: Either control your usage or dexe them. Choice is yours.
Wake up Early: I know this is too tough at times, but at night we might tend to waste time too instead of studying. Try this, you will develop the habit.
Keep your phone away while studying. Keep it on silent or switch it off.
Find your motivation from within. For long term exam preparation, you need to find your motivation within you, otherwise it will burn out sooner or later.
Stop binge watching Netflix. It does not help.
Stop chit-chat for long long hours on WhatsApp, calls, etc
Do it right now, do not wait for tomorrow to come
Keep good company. Don't talk to people who give you the wrong idea about life or demotivate you in your quest.
Keep learning and keep growing.
Do not compare, healthy competition is good, but everyone has their own pace of learning. Stick to yours.
这是每个人都知道的事情，但不是每个人都遵循。
停止社交媒体：控制着使用或者删除它们，选择权在你。
早起：我知道这有时太难了，但晚上我们可能会浪费时间而不是学习。试试这个，你会养成习惯的。
学习时把手机拿开。保持静音或关闭。
从内心寻找你的动力。对于长期的备考，你需要找到你内心的动力，否则无法持久。
停止疯狂观看Netflix，这没有帮助。
停止在WhatsApp、电话等软件进行长时间聊天。
现在就做，不要等到明天
结交优秀的朋友，不要和那些给你错误的人生观或让你失去追求动力的人交谈。
不断学习，不断成长。
不要比较，健康的竞争是好的，但每个人都有自己的学习节奏，坚持你的就行。
Doing anything consistently requires consistent work toward the goal. If you are looking to improve your focus you first have to understand what your distractions are. I am easily distracted so I have to silence as much as I can such as turning off notifications and closing down apps on my laptop when I am trying to focus.
Even without external distractions, your mind will help fill in the gaps. I journal and also log thoughts in Evernote. I try to log everything, even if it’s a pointless thought or embarrassing. It’s where my mind went and getting it out helps.
坚持不懈地做任何事情都需要朝着目标不断努力。如果你想提高注意力，你首先必须明白什么会让你分心。我很容易分心，所以当我试图集中注意力时，我必须尽可能保持沉默，比如关闭通知和关闭笔记本电脑上的应用程序。
即使没有外界干扰，你的大脑也会帮助填补空白。我在印象笔记上写日记，也记录自己的想法。我试着记录每件事，即使这是一个毫无意义的想法或使人难堪的事，这是我的想法，把它说出来会有帮助。
The big issue is redirection. You will never be free of distractions whether internal or external. You have to become a master at handling the thought or the interruption and redirecting yourself back to what you were working on without losing whatever flow you had.
You have to prepare for focus, focus doesn’t happen on its own. You have to figure out where your focus breaks down and work to recover from those distractions.
我最近在家工作，有四个孩子。很容易分心，有时很难集中注意力。如果每个人都在家，而我需要工作，我会把自己关在家里的某个地方，戴着耳机听古典音乐。我更喜欢其他音乐，但大多数其他音乐，尤其是有歌词的音乐，太分散注意力了。
最大的问题是重定向。无论是内部还是外部，你都无法摆脱干扰。你必须成为处理这种想法或处理被干扰的情况方面的大师，并在不会失去你所拥有的一切的情况下重新引导自己回到你正在做的事情上。
你必须为专注做好准备，专注不会自动发生。你必须弄清楚你的注意力会分散到哪里去，并努力从这些干扰中恢复过来。
