Selective Attention

Dragonfly rests on a board last week.
     Dragonflies are a good role model for people.
     Consider this statistic. When a dragonfly hunts an insect, it's success rate is around 95 percent. What other predators are that successful? None of them are.
     Dragonflies perform 'selective attention.' They focus on a single object of prey, such as one mosquito among many mosquitoes. Distractions are ignored.
     I'll repeat that last sentence: Distractions are ignored.
     Human beings also perform selective attention. The problem is, many people misuse this ability. Technology is the culprit. Smart phones, television, electronic games, and internet, distracts people from the pursuits of their dreams.
     By emulating a dragonfly, a person can better realize his dreams.
