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!
