Focus is a remarkable two syllable word. I first heard it in Kindergarten when I was told to focus on the blackboard, then in grade school when I was learning my multiplication tables. It followed me to university and into the workplace. Focus on marketing; focus on sales. Lost without it, I dutifully packed it up and took it home to focus on being a mother, a wife, cook and housekeeper.
This week I will highlight – yes, you guessed it – focus. I must confess that while I can apply the term to a variety of scenarios, there are times when I forget the power that resides in the word. Much like a sunrise is only a foreshadowing of the power of a mid-day sun.
