Mrs.Asiya began her session stating that
‘Focus’ literally means Concentration and Concentration is nothing but to pay
attention to a particular thing. Concentration can be in any field of sports,
education, entertainment etc. She pointed out saying that a student has to
focus mainly on studies to achieve his /her goals. Goals can be big like those
to become an IPS officer or a doctor and small goals may be just to do a given
task meticulously . Whatever the goal be one has to work hard continuously to
achieve it. To achieve the assigned goals one has to follow step –wise approach;
only then it leads to fulfilment of the desired goals which in turn leads to a
happy life.
