We accomplish more ...
Hi
We accomplish more by concentration than by fitness; the man that is apparently best suited for a place does not always fill it best. It is the man that concentrates on its every possibility that makes an art of both his work and his life.
Is the author trying to say that thanks to concentration we gain more than thanks to physical health?
As for the 2nd sentence, I take it to mean: the man that seems to be the most suitable candidate for the given post doesn't always fulfill his duties best.
However I see no correlation between the 1st part of that sentence and the 2nd.
