Many People failed to understand the power of being focused. some are so carried away by their past performance that they never knew that their past failure can be a hindrance to their present success.
People sometimes come up with the motive that since they fail before they can't make it again in life, they already developed the belief and ideology that since they couldn't perform well in their first, second or even third jamb exam that they can't pass jamb again, for some they have written for several times and come up with the belief that passing Jamb exam or scoring 300 and above is not for everyone.
Some will end up saying that those who passed well are luckier than they are.
But the fact is that those belief are never true, they are just imagination of their mind and heart that has darted and blind folded their mind's eye.
"Being focused means forgetting the past and facing the present"It means being positive. When you start developing negative feelings and mind sets you end up losing focus and you start thinking start thinking of your past failure. People think success is achieving ones goal without any set back, but should i tell you something that will shock you but which is the truth. Failure part of success you desire.
Now this is how i define success; "Success is failure turned inside out, Success is achieved when you fail, so when you fail, try, try it again and a gain and never give up"
Always tell yourself this is what i want to achieve in this exam i want to write, set the goal and work towards achieving your goal. Remain focused and be positive.
This is what i do most whenever i want to write any exam or an interview. I tell myself that i can make it, i can be who i want to be and it has always worked for me. In this case, i see myself coming out in flying colors because i set my goal and i work towards it and on the D-day of my exam i just tell myself positive words that boast my moral and build my confidence.
It is Important to bear it in mind that people who score 300 plus in jamb don't have two heads, they are human being like you, so why can't you do the same, why thinking negatively of yourself?
Why depending on your past failure, when those failure and setback are actually stepping stone to being successful.
You can still get there, all you need is just determination to keep you going.

Having the seen the guidelines for becoming focused, let me give you a detailed explanation of each guideline.
Pay rapt attention as this will help you become focused.
F - FORGET THE PAST AND MOVE FORWARD
A lot of people drag along with them to the present, their past which hence affect their future. The past can be in the form of;
P - Poor Performance
A - Academics Failure
S - Setback, Success or Near Success Hindrance
T - Triumph and Travails.
Mind you i put success and triumph among the past, that is because many are so carried away by what they achieved before, maybe in their Junior or Senior secondary School and are so over confident that they loss focus and begin to fail.
As i round up the first guideline, it is important to tell you that,
"When you focus on challenges, obstacles, and previous or past failure you tends to magnify those challenge and failure"O - OPPOSE EVERY NEGATIVITY
You can't have a positive future when there is a negative picture. Change your way of thinking if you want to take charge and be successful. Your imagination is what set the pace for your destination.
Rick Warren said "You are who you think you are"
If you think you can't make it in life, then you can't make it in life. If you think you will be successful, then you will definitely be successful.
C - CONCENTRATE
It is advisable to always concentrate on whatever you have to do at hand. If you are to study for like 6-10 hours do your possible to ensure not to be distracted, concentrate fully on your studies for those hours and you will see yourself being focused.
U - ULTIMATELY USE THE TIME
For you to effectively and efficiently use your time, you must have to be a good time manager.
Time management can only be achieved if you can discipline yourself.
Time management entails doing the most important thing at the right time, it is getting the first thing done at the first time.
For you to know which work is to come first you have to draw your scale of preference and prioritize your time.
Every time lost can never be regained. Time is the most essential commodity and the greatest treasure a man can have.
