Concentration is Everything

The fact is that you don’t have time to do everything in life, and the good news is that not everything in life is worth doing anyway. Concentrate on the smallest number of activities that will focus on the greatest productivity. Focus on your core competencies; concentrate on your strengths; don’t major in the minors. You know, when you take an unfocused light, it has no power at all, but if you take a magnifying glass and focus that light on a piece of grass, you can burn it. If you want your life to count and your organization to count, the secret is the strength in your concentration in the areas that will push the needle.
