Some boys were aiming at an egg floating on water. No one could shoot the egg and break it.
Swami Vivekananda was observing the boys. One of the boys asked Vivekananda. ‘’Do you want to try?’’
‘’Yes I’d like to’’ answered Vivekananda. He took the gun, and concentrated on the egg. He continuously
shot twelve eggs. The boys wondered how he could do that! Vivekananda told them. “You have to practice
concentrating on the work you do. Pay complete attention to the work you are doing. Don’t think of
anything else when you are doing a work. If you do so, you are sure to get success’’.
