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.

You can do it!
