For most people, they pay less attention to their everyday environment, which leads to failure in developing consciousness of what goes on around. Studying people, situations and events is one way by which we could be able to observe the things around us and pay detailed attention; the more attention paid, the more often new ideas come up which help in expanding how we view the world.

Whether you are starting a new job, venture or anything else, you need to retrain your yourself to pay attention to what’s important at the moment.
