Just like the endurance athlete who can make his or her body do things we never dreamed were possible, so can a person’s mind be trained to ‘make fire from ice’. Great analogy and excellent thought for the day.

Great metaphore.

Focus is more responsible for success than talent.

I love posts that set my thinking juices flowing.

I was wondering what the post is about when I saw your title. Impressive as I like how it starts with a metaphor to make us think further. I interpret this as finding a way when there seems to be no way; make things possible at the least possible situations. Inspiring and I do wish to start a fire for my blogging career this year! Here’s to a wiser decision making for a greater achievements to all!

Hahaha! Sometimes focusing can be cold and hard – but it can start a fire – that’s for sure!

Thanks for your comment Ms. Freeman!

I admit I like the idea of starting a fire with a block of ice a little better than the metaphor, but maybe that’s just because it has not been above freezing at my house in three weeks!

Very interesting post. It seems to be like a fresnel lens. They are the lens that were used in older televisions – the ones with the curved screens. They help bring out the image, and make it larger. I presume that it is why the man’s head above is so big. If that is the way he looks all the time then no offence meant.
There are good examples of giant fresnel lens being used to melt steel on youtube.

Very logical idea and inspiring one too. Making fire from ice – It like getting tons of traffic into a new blog but that the job. If someone can make fire from ice why you can’t earn traffic in your newly launch blog! Just one need to use right idea and need to choose good path.

This is so true. When you have a clear idea of what you want and where you want to go you will get there much faster. If you’re running around without a plan it’s going to show and you’re not going to do very well.

Staying focused in one of the many keys to a successful blog.

Sounds like a great negotiation strategy too – come to think of it!
