How to use focus in a sentence?
Autodesk Chief Executive Andrew Anagnost:
We do believe infrastructure is probably going to get more focus in the coming years, no matter what administration is in power, what people really need out of these projects is to get more bang for their buck. Deep digitization allows people to get more for their dollar out of these projects.
With the G7 everyone knew there were issues going into it and probably nothing would get done, the focus is on the possibility of something good coming out of the Singapore summit.
You should be getting better as games go on if you have a focus, im no different than any other coach. All of us would probably like to get more practice time. Its not there, and so you have got to get better in games, you have to get better in your walkthroughs, and you have to get better in everything you do.
Getting the hang of it is hard, but once you get used to the speed when you’re running, you’re pretty much just juggling in place … It’s so much more about focus. You have to get into a rhythm.
When it's hard to to get through another hour and another minute, refuse to believe the lies of darkness, make a conscious decision to focus on light and practice gratitude for what you have.
