Nick GoepperMy secret for writing is going back to clarity. I'm very clear about what I want to accomplish-the goal-and then the next two are focus and concentration.

Brian TracyEmpathy occurs when we suspend our single-minded focus of attention and instead adopt a double-minded foucus of attention. When our attention lapses into single focus, empathy has been turned off. When we shift our attention to dual focus empathy has been turned on.

Empathy makes the other person feel valued, enabling them to feel that their thoughts and feelings have been heard.
Simon Baron-CohenWhen you have your chance to make a film, don't focus on pleasing everyone. I think the goal is to live in that sweet spot where you focus on making a good film and you have fun with your collaborators, but you don't waste your energy chasing approval every which way. When you have a vision and a good story and you've managed to raise funding, it is your approval as a director that everyone should be seeking. It's very simple.

Joel OsteenI think, first and foremost, showing up, making sure that Democrats focus not just on elections, not just on presidential elections, but we begin the process of rebuilding the infrastructure of the party at the grassroots.

Tom VilsackYou see, the secret of the gospel is that we become more spiritually mature when we focus less on what we need to do for God and focus more on all that God has already done for us.

Richelle MeadHaving confidence in a free society is to focus on the process of discovery in the marketplace of values rather than to focus on some imposed vision or goal.

Achieving the free society requires courage to think, to talk, and to act - especially when it is easier to do nothing.

It wasn't about doing the dishes, I ordered a lot of pizza, and I just completely put myself in the creative bubble.

Even if I don't quite agree with something or have a different way of doing it this week, whatever they said, I did it right away and I found out that it was correct. I think that's helped a lot...I'm having fun. I had a lot of fun out there.

I was ready to laugh and give someone a high-five, but it wasn't time for that.

Rhonda ByrneI've been very lucky in that the studios really respect me and they give me all my creative freedom. But nevertheless, they are inputs, they have opinions.

So you have to focus and concentrate, and not lose the track of your melody.

You've got to get over the fact that you hate the person and rather focus on what you're trying to do.
