A Harvard professor conducted an experiment. Asked a bunch of students to watch a basketball game - count the number of times the ball was passed.
During the game a person dressed in a gorilla suit ran across the court. Afterward, the professor asked the students if they noticed the gorilla. Fifty percent responded, "what gorilla?"
When we concentrate on a certain object, in this case the ball, we only focus on the ball and ignore everything else that is going on around it. I guess when we focus on a problem, we fail to look at the bigger picture. The same thing can be said about problems during our life.
Hence, when life present to us a problem, try not to focus on the source. Try looking at the bigger picture, you might notice a few things that has happened without you realising it.
