Focus is everything & Failure is essential

When you are too busy looking behind and around you, people are passing you. If you never focus clearly on something, you will never be 100% efficient at anything. Multi-tasking might seem to make you efficient at getting multiple tasks done at once, but it usually reduces your efficiency in dealing with each individual task.

Don’t regret later in your life over what you should have tried, but didn’t because you were afraid you would fail. Just do it, and be willing to fail and learn along the way. Very few people get it right the first time. In fact, most people fail to get it right the first time they try. If what you did today didn’t turn out as you expected, tomorrow is a new opportunity to do it differently. Interpret each failure as a lesson on the road to success.
