What Concentration Looks Like

Multi-tasking should never be as valued as concentration. It's concentration that gets work done. When you're able to focus, the best comes out. When you multi-task, something comes out, but it can't be your best all the time.

Want to see what concentration looks like? It looks like this, when a butterfly lands on your eyebrow while you're in the most important concert performance of your life.

Ved Carl Nielsen Internationale Fløjtekonkurrence i Odense Koncerthus fik den japanske fløjtenist Yukie Ota ekstra hjælp af en sommerfugl, der satte sig på hendes pande og i mere end et minut nød de varme fløjtetoner uden dog at forstyrre musikken. Konkurrencen løber i Odense i denne uge og afsluttes på lørdag, hvor prisoverrækkelsen transmitteres direkte på DR K fra kl.

Without concentration - which can be practiced - Yukie Ota doesn't get through this. 

The practice of concentration renders distraction irrelevant.
