“it is wise to focus your energies on answers -- not excuses"
[borrowed quote]
"When you write down your ideas you automatically focus your full attention on them.
Few if any of us can write one thought and think another at the same time.
Thus a pencil and paper make excellent concentration tools.”
- Michael Leboeuf
“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.”
