Zero in on

[Narkises]

Hi,

I cannot get this sentence at all:

"Zero in on all the ways I make a difference and what other things I might do."

Can anyone explain it, please?
Thanks🌷

Narkises, always tell us the source and author of any text you quote, please.

[Tarheel]

Some context might help.

When you give us the source and author, please also give us the definition(s) you found for "zero in on" when you extensively researched it online.

It's odd, but I think it is asking us to focus on the ways the speaker makes a difference and to suggest further things.

Hi there,

Thank you all for your contribution in this threads,
Rover_KE, emsr2d2,Tarheel, and Tdol

OK, I will mention references from now on.

Anyway, it is not always possible. For example, the Zero in sentence is in a handout of a university workshop. It was not written in a universal book.
I asked from the teacher of that workshop, and she said that Zero in means "to concentrate or to focus on".

Regarding the context, it is from a handout named "the ABC's of Making a Contribution" in which every letter represents a specific example of making a contribution to make the world better. The zero in sentence could mean that "Focus on different ways you can make a change."

Narkises,, to zero in on something means to focus on something or increase your focus on something. (The phrase is zero in on.)

For example, the "zero in on" sentence is in a handout of a university workshop ... it is from a handout named "the ABC's of Making a Contribution" in which every letter represents a specific example of making a contribution to make the world better.

What you wrote in your previous post is the source.

What you wrote in your previous post is the source.

You don't have to give a lot of detail for this kind of material. Just say "Source: unpublished university workshop handout".
