My central focus is creating employment for the ordinary citizen.
Deep attention, the cognitive style traditionally associated with the humanities, is characterized by concentrating on a single object for long periods (say, a novel by Dickens), ignoring outside stimuli while so engaged, preferring a single information stream, and having a high tolerance for long focus times. Hyper attention is characterized by switching focus rapidly among different tasks, preferring multiple information streams, seeking a high level of stimulation, and having a low tolerance for boredom.
The evidence here, as elsewhere, suggests that education is certainly relevant, but more because better education is associated with general differences in patterns of life than because discrete parts of a lifestyle can be changed. Health-change policies which focus entirely on the individual may be ineffective not only because exposure to health risks is largely involuntary, but also, as this study has shown, because of unwarranted assumptions about the extent to which behaviour can, in these circumstances, be effective in improving health.
I use a "Debt Dash" approach to paying off debt. I recommend people focus on paying off the debt with the lowest balance first. So if the primary has less debt you would focus on that.
What you believe and focus on becomes your reality.
People who focus exclusively on efforts that matter, succeed. It's that simple.
Everyone has gone trick or treating, everyone carves a jack o lantern with their parents. If you really look at the stories they sort of focus on what Halloween is like at different stages of your life.
The studies I've seen about readability and legibility tend to focus on a specific set of metrics: size, not just the point size, but things like the size of the lower case letters as a proportion of the overall letter height, and line length. People simply can't read really small type set in really long lines.
I learned that you can't write a book in the margins of your life. I'd forgotten how much uninterrupted time it takes to write chapters, and how you have to push everything else aside and really focus.
Focus on your work. Be the best you that you can be. Develop a thick skin and let things roll off your back. And keep a sense of humor!
The mind is a very intricate machine. It can store memories, past impressions, grudges, criticisms, judgments. It can hold a lot of stuff. In general, it's only really good at holding onto one thing at a time. Which is why, when we have a lot going on, we feel sort of stressed and we feel tension because the mind is busy trying to figure out what it should focus on first.
Work. Study. Focus. Dedicate yourself to it and don't give up.
We need to focus on destroying ISIL, but we shouldn't be the ones declaring that [Bashir] Assad must go.
Forget about finding your passion. Instead, focus on finding big problems.
Focus on one goal allowed the achievement of many desires.
Success is doing what you said you would do, consistantly, with clarity, focus, ease and grace.
We focus so much on how immigrants can change America that we forget that America has always changed immigrants even more.
Football became my obvious metaphor as it does for many, and I began to equate this as being 'halftime' in my life. As I reflected on my professional life I realized how much time I had spent trying to make first downs and score touchdowns. My focus had now changed into trying to be more about people and serving others.
The important questions focus on what matters most-Heavenly Father's plan and the Savior's Atonement.
When a leader in the Church inspires council members with vision, he helps them focus on their real mission so that they are ministering to people rather than merely administering programs.
My focus is trying to make great music and putting on great shows, and whatever happens beyond that is a bonus to me.
God isn't waiting on our memo. He is waiting on us to focus enough on Him that we get His memo.
See it, believe it, achieve it.
The power of applying attention, steady and undissipated, to a single object, is the sure mark of superior genius.
I have to stay concentrated. I have to maintain focus and concentration. I can't get ahead of myself. I give 100 percent in training and in the ring. I always want to put on a great fight for the fans.
