“Let each hour of the day have its allowed duty, and cultivate that power of concentration which grows with its exercise, so that the attention neither flags nor wavers, but settles with bull-dog tenacity on the subject before you. Constant repetition makes a good habit fit easily in your mind, and by the end of the session you may have gained that most precious of all knowledge—the power of work.”
- Sir William Osler, Aequanimitas: With Other Addresses to Medical Students, Nurses and Practitioners of Medicine (chapter 18)
cited by Cal Newport
