I was focusing on the task at hand, so the gorilla was irrelevant. There could have been a fire-breathing dragon and it still wouldn't have changed the task I was asked to complete... but that was a cool trick, I didn't see the gorilla until the second time.

What made the task at hand the most important one?

It was the specific task I was given to complete... if I was asked to manage the entire thing I would have paid more attention to my surroundings. I wasn't asked to look at the big picture so I didn't. If I am on a project that has 15 different sub-projects and I am in charge of one sub-project, then I only care about the other sub-projects if they affect my sub-project... if I were to get too focused on the whole project, I would not do a very good job managing my sub-project.

On this forum, sometimes I feel like I am the gorilla walking around that nobody sees. :D

:killinme :killinme

the only inescapable lesson is that in doing so, you will probably overlook the threat posed by an intruder in your midst.:ernie

I didn't see the gorilla till they explained it...which means I watched it TWICE without ever seeing him! Buwahahaha!!! :killinme

I was very intensely watching the ball...nothing else was important! I was given a task, and that's all I needed to be concerned with! :thumbsup

So THERE!!! :razz

don't tell us, tell the gorilla that is invading your children's world while you are getting their clothes ironed!:sos
