Focus
1.Focus means
putting all of our attention in resolving one issue at a time until it is successfully completed. In other words
we focus all of our effort and resources on a particular task till its completion.
We put aside time, our thoughts, interest, our soul and our spirit to the task at hand. We allocate money, workers and resources that
we possessed to the task at hand.
2. This is the only
way to ensure the minimization of failure to the task at hand. Giving full
attention and focus to our studies, InsyaAllah we will not fail. Giving full
attention and focus to our career, InsyaAllah we will not fail. Giving full
attention and focus to our business, InsyaAllah we will not fail.
3.When we focused,
we know with certainty our direction. We know with certainty our aim. We know
with certainty our deadline and time frame. By focusing our effort, we can picture
the fruits of our labour looming ahead.
Reality in Life
1.There is nothing
wrong with being ambitious. It is not inhibiting our focus. However, most of us
have this undesirable streak of greediness, impatience and disorderly. These
characteristics are against being focused.
2.Greediness caused
us wanting everything at one time. Being impatient caused us unable to control
our desires to achieve success in a short period of time. Being disorderly
caused us to want to do everything at one time. In the end we loose out and not
only that, even what is in our possession slipped through our fingers.
3.A student keen to
do a double major, believing that he can do it, only manages to achieve an
average pass and has difficulty in broadening his career. A successful
restauranter is better off expanding his line of business in the catering or
food processing sector than dabbling in construction and property development.
He has the expertise and experience in food industry why waste time getting involved
in a totally new industry which is alien
to him. This could however be done if he sold off his restaurant business to
focus on his new property development projects.
4.Just like a
cockroach without its tail, it will run around aimlessly without any clear
direction. Just like the cockroach being pricked with a pin and when held
upside down, we can see its tentacles moving non stop unable to move anywhere.
More often than not we hear phrases like, “I am too busy” or “Everyday I
reached home at about 10.17 pm in the evening” or “There’s just too much work
to do in the office”.
5. Doing 10
projects at the same time, make us become too busy. By implementing one project
at a time until completion and then proceeding to start another project until
successful will enable us to complete all 10 projects in the same period of
time or maybe slightly more but we are confident of its success, quality and
productivity.
6.We save time
since monitoring and supervising activities can be done in a more effective
manner for each of the projects. The learning curve on correcting the
weaknesses become shorter when we focused. Experience can be obtained and
acquired in a more effective and in-depth manner. The risks suffered can be
minimized. Abandoned projects can be totally avoided. Shortage of resources can
be overcome. There will be more savings in time and resources achieved through
discipline and focus.
7.Nowadays many
organizations are into multi-tasking. This concept is suitable for the lower level management staff
category such as clerical and those that do not require high expertise. The
professionals and the middle management category should not practiced
multi-tasking. This reduces their efficiency and productivity. It will not
assist them in becoming an expert in their area of interests. It will only
create a feeling of confusion and frustration in the employee.
8.Before even
finishing a task, he is being assigned
another task. Before completing the new task, he is being asked to replace his
co-worker who has gone outstation. The work was not completed in a proper
manner, though done on time. The research was not done properly, poor quality
of work and the expertise and experience
gained in an improper manner. Not only the organization, the office and the
boss suffer losses but worst than that, the employee himself failed in his
career.
Tips
1.Avoid totally
practising the culture of the cockroach without tail or the cockroach being
pricked with a pin. The sun’s rays will burn anything within its area of focus. By focusing, our vision can be as
clear as 20/20. By focusing, our confidence level is high to achieve success.
By focusing, will continue to enhance our skills and expertise. By focusing will make us
more creative and innovative as we will be exposed to the latest technology in
our area of involvement.
2.Focus will not
make us monotonous as we will all the time be challenged to
explore new opportunities in our area of involvement. Being focused, will allow
us to have more quality time spent with our family. Being focused, will enable us
to have more time to pamper ourselves in
religious knowledge and our health. Being focused will enable us to think big dream high and have a strong
heart to achieve greater success in exploring new endeavors, new opportunities
and new challenges.
