![Putting Focus in Perspective](https://magarticles.magzter.com/articles/6118/653827/6096298eb8605/Putting-Focus-in-Perspective.jpg)
The Mahabharata tells us the story of TArjuna, the third of the five Pandava brothers, who was a great archer. Once, during archery training, Arjuna’s teacher Drona pointed to a bird on the branch of a tree and instructed him and his brothers to aim for its eye. ‘Describe what you see,’ said the teacher. ‘A bird on the branch of the tree,’ said Yudhishtira, his eldest brother. ‘A bird on the branch of a mango tree,’ said Bhima, his elder brother. ‘A bird on the branch of a mango tree that stands in front of a banyan tree,’ said Duryodhana, his cousin, the eldest of the Kauravas. It was only Arjuna who said, ‘I see only the eye of the bird, nothing else.’ Drona ordered his students to release their arrows. Only Arjuna’s struck the target! Arjuna’s focus was what made him the greatest archer in the world.
But, later in life, when Arjuna enters the battlefield of Kurukshetra he loses this focus. For the first time in his life, he looks beyond the target. The sight that greets Arjuna fills him with despair, for he realizes he would be fighting his grand-uncle, Bhisma, his teacher, Drona, his cousins, the Kauravas, and other members of his extended family. He is overcome with conflicting emotions.

कर्तव्य की भावना से कार्य में उत्कृष्ठता (excellence)
क ई तरह की व्यवस्थाएँ हैं, जो हमें सचेत करती हैं कि हमें क्या करना है। माता-पिता, समाज, कानून आदि के प्रति हमारे कुछ उत्तरदायित्व होते हैं, कर्तव्य व व्यवहार के कुछ नियम होते हैं जिनका हमें पूर्ण रूप से पालन करना होता है, परन्तु बहुत से लोग अपने कर्तव्यों के प्रति लापरवाह होते हैं, उन्हें अपने कर्तव्य पालन करना पसंद नहीं है ।
