• You planned to study for the weekend but ended up sitting in front of the TV for another series of Lost (or Prison Break). focus vs distraction; distraction wins.
• You play well during practice but kept shooting air ball during competition coz the audiences’ boo keep distracting you from being focus. you ended up sitting on the bench, worse, causing your team to lose a game.
• You suppose to focus on your blog writing but ended up wasting time surfing net and making useless chat online with friends. focus vs distractions, distraction wins.
• You wanted to put down a few kgs but… well, a cheese cake won’t do much, so there you go, crunch up another piece of tiramisu. focus vs distraction, distraction wins.
• When taking a gang fight in DotA, your team planned to focus fire on Lion but one of your teammates ended up stunning Lich, one disabling Zeus, and one farming creeps behind. focus vs distractions, fail to focus fail to win in DotA.

You might be the next straight A’s student, national basket ball player, blogger of the year, guy with nice body, DotA competition winner… you might be anything succesful, if your will to focus outrun the power of distraction.

Real life stories, real life failures. one cause - distraction overtakes will of focus.

Did money distracts Ronaldinho when he was in PSG?

Did TV entertainment distracts Sergey Bin and Larry Page when they were developing Google (aka BackRub)?

Did the success with Lord of the Ring distracts Peter Jackson away from making the next blockbuster?

Did the fear of failure came close in distracting Jordan when he was making this shot?

Were distractions bothering them? of course not. otherwise, Ronaldinho will not be named Fifa World Player Gala winner for year 2004 &2005 in Barcelona; we might be still using Alta Vista instead of Google nowadays; Peter Jackson won’t be directing King Kong, the next world class blockbuster movie; and Jordan won’t lead Bulls for another run of threepeat in NBA.

Distraction vs focus, who won the fight in you?
