Antidote for Foolishness

There is an antidote to making a fool of oneself.  Say to your brain : From 9 am to 9:30 am today, you must focus without ceasing on a particular topic - which I will give you

Arnold Bennett , The Human Machine 

Focus is the foundational habit on which the edifica called Character will rest upon

I need to be the architect of my character - not to be misled by 

instant pleasure and impulses

rather by thoughtful habits - forethought - by design - a blue-print for Life by below steps:

1. Set aside 30 minutes every day ,at same time , say 9 to 9:30 AM 

2. Take one Idea (as if this is the central point of your life as of now)

3. Pure attention without motive (as J Krishnamurti Says) for the next 30 minutes...no goals...nothing...just be attentive on the topic on hand

4. Write about your idea as much as possible

If you do so above, then you are better positioned to deal with the clumsiness of daily life - not behaving like a fool - veering from plan to plan
