   • The beam initially diffracts linearly and self-focusses slowly into a soliton.
2. 2

   concentration of attention on itself

   • A few of our studies, however, have explored individual differences in self-focus.
   • Self-focus, self-preoccupation, and the like do not automatically spell an enlargement of one's general self-knowledge.
3. 3
