a faint foggy haze
I have this friend. We'll call him "Doc." Doc is a med student, and a pretty focused one at that. I would hope that all med students would be focused (it's a serious subject, y'know), so maybe it's just more visible to me because of my relationship with Doc. Now, if you'd like to talk to Doc, which I rather like to do, you can call him after 8pm only. Before 8 is devoted to hospital time and studying time. I've come to find out that this evening rule now also applies to weekends, though I swear this wasn't the case 2 weeks ago, and he swears that I'm "wrong." That I "misunderstood." To that I say "Whatever." Point is, he has enough discipline to turn off life for the sake of medicine (well, for the sake of his own success), whereas I lose my concentration on doing anything like that in about 20 minutes.

I have this other friend. We'll call him "Poncho". Poncho also works very hard at his art, though in reality the boy's got more talent than Nature should allow because it makes the rest of us feel bad. But he's got a certain reputation to keep, and we all know what they say about not surviving on talent alone. The man is smart; he exhibits tremendous focus as well by backing up his talent with this concept called "practice."

I know this girl. Her name's "Britt." She's "apparently" having a "love affair" with "quotation marks." But that's beside the point. She's got a little bit of talent and even less focus. And that kind of worries me, if only for the fact that if this girl wants to ever do anything more than just cruise along like she has for her entire life, she obviously lacks the engrossment of mind to go to a higher level. So far this hasn't been a problem... but the question is, will this lack of focus serve to rule out opportunities that could crop up in the future that may require at least some sort of attentitiveness (like oh, I dunno, grad school? a new hobby? children?)?
