Dele Farotimi, a respected Nigerian lawyer, recently shared a poignant metaphor:
“The good hunting dog, is never distracted by the rustling of squirrels in the underbrush.
” This statement beautifully illustrates the essence of focus and discipline in achieving goals, whether in hunting or in life.
In the dense forest of distractions that is modern life, the ‘squirrels’ can be social media, trivial tasks, or sudden news that diverts our attention from what truly matters. Just as a hunting dog must ignore these distractions to pursue its quarry, individuals must learn to sift through the noise to concentrate on their objectives.
In professional settings, this might mean prioritizing tasks that align with one’s career goals over less impactful ones. In personal life, it could involve focusing on health or relationships rather than fleeting pleasures or conflicts.
Farotimi’s words resonate culturally in Nigeria, where hunting metaphors are part of traditional wisdom, teaching the value of patience and focus.
