32、 Or can it be bad? How many of us never reach our goals and yet we have tried so hard and really thought about nothing else? I believe the mistake most of us make is that we do not focus on our present situation.Let me explain. Most of us see our present situation as a stepping stone that we use sim
33、ply as a means of reaching our final destination. We do not take time to truly appreciate where we are today and all the great things we already have in our lives. We should focus our attention on the journey and not on the destination, or we will miss all the beautiful scenery along the way.Lets us
34、e our job as an example. Now most of us want a promotion. We have plans to become the manager or general manager in our companies. Unfortunately, most of us will never reach this goal, but will watch others achieve our goal instead.What we should be doing is focusing on the job we are currently in n
35、ow. Forget where we want to get to and just focus on the present. You see, what we can control is our performance in our current job. We can decide to be the best we possibly can in our current job. Now this may mean further education to have the skills we currently do not have. It may mean working
36、harder to produce better results than our colleagues. It could simply be a change of attitude, such as stopping complaining and becoming a more devoted and supportive employee. By doing our current job to the best of our abilities, we in fact give ourselves the best chance of promotion, even though
37、we have not been focusing on the promotion.So the best thing for all of us to do to achieve our goals is to just focus on what we have and where we are now. Do the best and be the best we possibly can in our current situations, and we will give ourselves the very best chance of reaching our goals in
38、 the future. We have heard all the old sayings and they are all true:” Rome was not built in a day”, “Patience is a virtue”, “Every great journey begins with the first step”, and so on.Have patience, have appreciation of what we already have, and take time to help ourselves be the very best we can.
39、Do these things and we will all reach our goals, but more important, we will enjoy our life every day.TitleFocus on the presentThemeTo 1. _ our goals, we should focus on what we have and where we are now.Common 2. _l We do not focus on our present situation.l Most of us see our present situation as
