Whatever is happening in life, focus is the key to performance.
In this age of social media, bad news always spreads fast, and technology spreads it faster than anything. When this happens, you cannot let the negativity and disappointment infiltrate all you’re trying to accomplish.

When you change everything because of your critics, you are losing focus, and when you answer them you are losing focus. Leave your critics isolated. Stay focused on your journey only.
