This text is a brief version of book "Focus. About attention, absent-mindedness and vital success".People prefer to all decisions those that will be realized instantly : now I will eat pastry, and then I will sit down on a diet. We are really difficult to suffer, even if we are perfectly well-informed about benefits that we will get in the future. Reason is covered in cerebral organization: for a brain, giving commands to the body, most important - that takes place straight now. The deferred consequences ignore not only separate people - such takes place at the level of organizations and whole societies, that creates global problems with that only coming humanity to manage.Today to be successful and to decide scale tasks, it is extraordinarily important to take into account temporal horizon.
