Here’s a short and inspiring story about Swami Vivekananda: One day, during his travels, Swami Vivekananda was walking by a river. He saw a group of young boys trying to shoot eggshells floating on the water with their toy guns. Despite repeated attempts, they failed to hit the target. Observing this, Vivekananda picked up a gun and began shooting. To everyone’s surprise, he hit the target every single time. The boys were amazed and asked how he could aim so perfectly. Vivekananda smiled and said: **"Whatever you do, put your whole mind into it. If you are shooting, focus entirely on the target. If you are studying, give it your complete attention. Success comes when you focus wholeheartedly on the task at hand."** This story highlights his teachings on concentration and dedication, which remain relevant for all aspects of life.
