HOW A PLATE OF RICE CAN TEACH YOU HOW TO FOCUS IN LIFE...
I first learnt the power of focus from my mum, and she did it with just a plate of rice. You see, I'm not a foodie, what I like more is meat. So, as a child, I would go for the meat on
top of my food first and then either forget the food or just end up eating very little...
But you see, my mum had this really "weird" belief that eating your meat before eating your food is a bad habit.
So she started watching out for my "bad meat habit". She would drop the food and then smack my face whenever I go for the meat first.
"Finish your food first". She would growl. "In fact, don't touch that meat until you finish that food".
I tried getting my way with crying and tantrums and it didn't work. So I got the message and just calmed down to unlearn my favourite bad habit...
So I would eat and eat (with tears running down my face), and force myself to finish the food because if I didn't then no meat for me.
Till today I don't go for the meat in the food till I'm done eating. And when I see people who eat meat first before they start eating, I get disgusted.
So why I'm I telling you this story?
First, because I wanted to tell you the secret of why I grew up to become such a cute young lady.
- I always finished my food as a child. *big smile*
And secondly, It's also because I want to show you the power of a meat in your life (pun intended.)
You can't focus without a goal (meat). A specific goal.
A Lot of people start up a project or make new year resolutions and then either change it or dump it entirely before they finish.
The reason we do this is because we don't have a specific goal that fits into the plan for that project.
When you focus on a specific goal, focusing on the task at hand becomes easier...
To focus on being more hard-working in at your work place or anywhere else....you need to get a goal that will push you on - like say;
When goals are specific, focus is easier, When your goals are not specific, it's harder to be focused...
Happy focusing. (Copied)
