In
our lives; we want to do everything at the same time. It is true that is it
important to know how to multi-task. However; it can be difficult to chase two
rabbits at the same time. When your mind is focused somewhere; your attention is gone to that particular focus point. There are things that we can do on
the side; but without even realizing it; it takes a bit of focus from the first thing. I can take the example of doing different household chores.
You chop onions; you put something on the stove; then you need to check the
dish that you put in the oven twenty minutes before. Then your phone rings; you
answer. While doing that; the thing on the stove is starting to burn. You tell
the person to call you back because obviously you need to remove the pot from
the stove. In this scenario; we understand why it is difficult to chase two
rabbits at the same time.

This
scenario brings to mind the fact that when you start to do something and you
add other things; you remove a bit of focus from the first thing that you were
doing. Due to that; the results won’t be as perfect (or even not good at all) as it could have been if
you focused on one thing. Let’s take another example. The most logical one that
comes to mind when you hear the sentence: You cannot chase two rabbits at the
same time. Let’s say you are a little kid; you see a rabbit; you chase him.
Along the way; you see a second one you start chasing rabbit number 2. But
while you are doing that; rabbit number 1 is already going somewhere else. You
start to lose him. You can either choose one rabbit to chase or try to chase
both which would probably mean that you will lose both as your are not focusing
on one specific rabbit…

is important to put our focus on something and stick to it to see it through…
