More on Focus
“Focus on your strengths, not your weaknesses.”
“Give full attention and devotion to each act.”
“One reason so few of us achieve what we truly want is that we never direct our focus; we never concentrate our power. Most people dabble their way through life, never deciding to master anything in particular.”
More on Wisdom
“Supposing is good, but finding out is better.”
“Most of all, perhaps, we need an intimate knowledge of the past. Not that the past has anything magical about it, but we cannot study the future.”
“And, looking on it with lack-lustre eye,Says very wisely, "It is ten o'clock:Thus we may see," quoth he, "how the world wags."”
