'That's been one of
my mantras - focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex: You have
to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it's worth it in
the end because once you get there, you can move mountains'.
Climbing up any career is as easy as driving a car
on a road. But you should know your car and the road! The car is yourself and
the road is the career platform you are in.
As in any travel, keeping your focus on the
destination is very important. The destination in the career journey is your
goal - short term, medium term and long term. Like in any journey, there will
be turns and bends, there will be traffic, there will be others to overtake
you, there will be good and bad traffic. But you should drive and reach the
destination which is your goal. As you are driving, there could be traffic
congestions and you may have to wait and you have to wait patiently.
As in a traffic, there could be a diversion and you
may have to come back to your planned route.
Mind, by nature, will wander. We need to take
efforts to arrest the wandering mind. A determined mind knows how to sustain
the focus and manage interruptions. Our ability to conquer our mind is the most
essential quality of a successful person.
But how train our mind to focus?
