Aeroplane Aerobatics in my Room

Have you ever noticed how, when a moth circles a light, it goes at unbelievable speed in rapid circular movements?
That moth has only one thing to focus on, one purpose in mind, nothing else matters. That’s kind of astonishing, since we humans try, but never seem to accomplish this.

It’s so difficult to focus on only one thing. The harder you try, the less you seem to get it right. There always seems to be something else demanding our attention, something else we would rather be doing.

One example is in exam or test times. The more you tell yourself to study, the more you think about other things which you would rather be doing.

Were we like the moth, we would have been focused on the task at hand, as long as we didn’t burn our wings or hit our heads.
But since this isn’t the case, we should just try to make the best of our ever wandering minds and be greater than the moth!
