If you are one is able to gather together one's all your mental energies, bringing them to a point which is fixed on the enunciation of the problem, and you stay there, fixed, as though you were about , to drill a hole in the wall, all of a sudden it will come.

This compels you one to a sort of organisation of yourselfoneself, a sort of concentration of your one's energies because it is this that you wish one wishes to do and not fifty other things which contradict it.
