“I had a teacher who told us to go out that week and see how many mercedes cars we noticed. When I came back I told her I had seen a lot! She asked me if I had seen any old junky cars. I told her I didn’t remember seeing any. The next week she asked us to go out and see how many old junky cars we noticed. Of course we noticed a lot but when she asked us if we saw any mercedes cars, we didn’t remember seeing any. Where is your focus? Is it on the problem or on the solution and more importantly, where would you like it to be?” — Kim Hiles
