“Focusing on what you've done is not as important in this learning process as focusing on who you have become”
“What if instead of focusing on what you don't have, you concentrate on what you've got?”
“People think focus means saying yes to the thing you've got to focus on. But that's not what it means at all. It means saying no to the hundred other good ideas that there are. You have to pick carefully. I'm actually as proud of the things we haven't done as the things I have done. Innovation is saying no to 1,000 things.”
“Don’t compromise your focus by comparing what you are trying to learn to what you already know. Focus in the moment, on what you are trying to learn now.”
“The challenge for you is to decide not what is important, but what is most important and then focus your attention on that.”
“People who fail focus on what they will have to go through; people who succeed focus on what it will feel like at the end.”
