Remember last week, about the speaker who instructs everyone to ask all their questions up front and then, without notes, he answers the questions in perfect order?  What I didn't mention to you is that he is an Indian economist who also is an expert in meditation.  According to him, his extraordinary power of concentration is a benefit of his daily meditation practice.

 

     The soothing impact his practice has on his nervous system, he says, also allows his brain to function at maximum capacity.  Audiences listen with pin-drop attention, in part, to see if he will be able to remember all the questions!

 

     He always does.
