You cannot chase two rabbits at the same time



Stuffpoint.com

Rabbits appear to be small and naughty animals, and I am wondering if it will be possible to chase them at the same time because they will run to different directions.

As fussy as I am, I have learnt to give my attention in one thing because of the results I’m expecting at the end. I can’t accept defeat or not be satisfied with the final product, which is why it’s impossible for me to focus on too many things.

During my Internship last year, the job was demanding and my grades dropped because I could not balance work and school. In fact, my job took all my attention because I was overwhelmed. I had to submit portfolios and expected to perform well at work. The distance made it worse because I only relied on emails to communicate with my lecturers. There was no direct communication because I was in a different province.

My mistake was to go work in a different province from where I was studying at, and still had to submit feedback from the industry. However I assumed that all submissions made were right because there was no direct communication and consultations with the lecturers.

My rabbits ran to different directions and I didn’t do well at the end of the year even though I was able to graduate, therefore you cannot chase two rabbits at the same time. I was not happy with my final results. Your mind can only focus on one thing at a time.

“Nothing is more dangerous than an idea, when you only have one idea”

I know some doesn’t agree with Alain statement that having one idea can be a bit dangerous. In fact it has very bad consequences because it will narrow your mind to focus on that one idea.

Alain stated that, “Nothing is more dangerous than an idea, when you only have one idea”. By this, he meant that it is safer to have more than just one idea; otherwise one is forced to only try that idea. What happens if that idea doesn’t turn out well? You are messed up.

Last year I got stuck up on my internship, the only idea I had in mind was that I will find a job after my training. That did not work out pretty well, and I had to come with another idea that will be quickly implemented. Coming back to varsity and register for my Btech was a harsh decision because my one idea did not work as planned. I was truly affected by the saying “Failure to plan, is planning to fail” because I was supposed to have a backup plan, that’s idea 2. My family had to come to my rescue and I’m grateful for that.

In that case, no matter how good your idea can be you will need a back-up plan that will widen your thinking.
