“A man’s power and intelligence are limited. He who wants to do everything will never do anything.”- Andre Maurois

One of the best ways to succeed is to do what you can do well. Success requires focus. It requires discipline. If you spread your focus too thin, if you don’t focus on what you do, your dreams, your goals, if you don’t focus on where you are, where you are going, how can you succeed?

Don’t try to do everything, but try to do something. Do what you are good at. Know what you can do. Focus on your strengths, not on your weaknesses. Success comes from your strengths, not from your weaknesses. If you focus on your strengths, you will grow stronger and better. But if you focus on your weaknesses, you will grow smaller and weaker.

Don’t spread yourself too thin. Don’t focus on everything, focus on something. Focus on one thing and do it well. Focus equals success.

Do More Of What Makes You Happy

“Happiness always looks small while you hold it in your hands, but let it go, and you learn at once how big and precious it is.”– Maxim Gorky

You want to be happy, right? Do you think you can find it? If you think so, where do you think you can find it? Where? Can you measure happiness? Is it measurable? Maybe, maybe not.

You can find happiness if you do the right things. Happiness is everywhere. If you really care about your happiness, check your actions, check your relationships, check your work, and check yourself. Are they making you happy, or are they hurting you? If they make you happy, embrace them. But if they are hurting you, stay away. To put simply, do more of what makes you happy. And do less of what hurts you.

Your happiness is in your own hands. Do not neglect it. We lose whatever we neglect. If you want to be happier, do not neglect what makes you happy. According to Andre Maurois, ” When one is already happy it is important not to lose the virtues which have produced happiness.” Whatever it is that makes you happy, keep it. Don’t let it go. Because your happiness is in your own hands. Don’t you think so?
