A scientist marveled at how a seemingly harmless magnifying glass could create such intense heat, when the suns rays passed through its glassy surface. He asked the magnifying glass, 'How can you do what you do? You have this incredible ability of tapping into the rays of the sun. You then take those vast rays and bring them to a powerful point that burns holes in leaves and sheets of paper.' The magnifying glass replied to the scientist by saying, 'Well sir, I have learnt this one thing throughout the years. The hotter it gets, the more focused I become.'
That is what gives the winner in life their greatest advantage.
THE HOTTER IT GETS......
THE MORE FOCUSED THE WINNER BECOMES
Winners have become tough because they have been through tough times. Winners become strong because they have replaced their weaknesses with newfound strengths. Winners appreciate what it takes to win, because they know what it is to have tasted the bitter taste of defeat and yet have risen once again. Winners have known what it is to be in the heat of battle, and yet they know that when all else seems beyond their grasp, the very worst thing that could ever happen to them would be for them to lose their focus.
Focused people see the good when others see the bad. They see the opportunity when others see disaster. They buy when others sell and sell when others buy. They watch others being carried by the tide and then swim the other way. They are winners and leaders because they live not by circumstance but by their inward focus. This is what sets them apart from the masses and it is this that others admire and at times misunderstand the most.
Motivational Memo for the Week: A blind man with focus can see better than a man with perfect sight who has no vision.
