Play With The Cards in Your Hand

To stay focused and win your game, you need to focus on the card in your hand and not the card you want. Do not bother with work, assignments or positions, are not in your hands or not in your control, never worry with other departments or other functions or influences in your work, but always focus on your job, task or position you are holding at the moment. When you focus on doing your work, you will find it quite easy to get the best results, and maybe it's because everything is in your hands. You live in that moment. A critical success in a career is playing with the position you have today, not the position you want. If you cannot prove your value for holding your current position, then you are not fit to hold the next position as simple as that.
