1. Details determine success or failure
As the saying goes, "Mountain Tai does not reject fine soil, so it can reach its height; rivers and seas do not reject small streams, so it can reach its depth." Three Hundred and Six Ten lines, no matter what you do, details determine success or failure!
What are details? It is those things that seem ordinary but are very important. The success or failure of a thing is often the result of the influence of some small things. Small things often play a major role. A detail can lead you to your destination, or it can make you suffer from the pain of failure. Everything is made up of countless small details, and each one is important. It's like an iron chain, consisting of countless iron rings. No matter which one of the iron rings is broken, the entire iron chain is useless.
"Don't do good deeds because they are small, and don't do evil deeds because they are small." These are the words Liu Bei left to his son. The story is that success or failure in the world often lies in the details. Who would have thought that at the critical moment, it would be the details that make you outstanding, and it is also the details that will make you fail.
Why do apples fall from trees? Newton thus discovered the law of universal gravitation; why does the lid of the kettle jump when the water is boiled? Watt therefore invented the steam engine... These things are normal in our eyes, but those scientists can discover the details that we have ignored. Of those great inventions and discoveries, which one was not discovered by them by carefully observing the details in life? The same thing, in the eyes of different people, they will find different details. Details are everywhere in life. Only a person who is good at discovering details can become a strong person in life.
“The tree that hugs each other is born from the smallest detail; the nine-story platform starts from tired soil; the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” It can be seen that any success is inseparable from the details. For an iron chain, the weakest link determines its strength; for a barrel, the lowest point determines its capacity; and for a person, the worst character determines his development!
There are many people in China today who want to do big things, but there are too few people who are willing to do small things in detail. It should be noted that great achievements are fascinating, but they are composed of many inconspicuous details. Only by doing every detail well can we achieve great things. Only by changing our tendency to be impetuous and not asking for complete solutions, and be down-to-earth, start with small things, and pay attention to details can we succeed.
But it is not that simple to pay attention to details. It requires you to pay attention all the time, because the details will not be in front of you, it requires you to find and discover them. . So, remember: the devil is in the details. Only by grasping every detail will we be closer to success!
2. "One tree and one Bodhi, one sand and one world." Everything in life is originally composed of details, and details are often the easiest to be ignored. However, these inconspicuous details are like scenery to the eyes, flowers to be held in the palm, and sunshine to the arms. Small things often play a big role...
There is a famous ballad in ancient England: "A nail is missing, a horseshoe is missing, a horseshoe is missing , lost a war horse, lost a war horse, lost a battle, lost a battle, lost a country. "This is the story of Charles III of England. Charlie was preparing to fight to the death with Richmond. Charlie asked a groom to nail horseshoes to his horse. When the blacksmith nailed the fourth horseshoe, there was only one nail missing, so the blacksmith secretly did the job. Soon, Charlie and the opponent were at war. , suddenly a horseshoe fell off during the battle, the king was overturned to the ground, and the kingdom changed hands.
One percent of mistakes lead to 100% failure. One nail is lost, one horse is lost, and one horse is lost. Have you heard the lamentation of a distant dynasty in the wind - details determine the rise or fall!
The ancients said it well: "Taishan does not reject fine soil, so it can grow as high as possible; rivers do not reject small streams, so it can grow as deep as possible." Therefore, no small concessions should be made in big gifts, and details determine success or failure. Around us, there are many people who want to do things well, but not many who are willing to do small things carefully; we do not lack smart and capable managers, but we lack executors who strive for excellence; we do not lack various rules and regulations, but we lack Lack of no-compromise execution. China has a population of 1.4 billion. No matter how many small problems there are, if multiplied by 1.4 billion, it will become a big problem. The slightest difference in details can lead to vastly different results. Truth and fallacy are often only one step away.
I believe everyone has had this experience: one wrong data can cause the entire report to become a pile of waste paper; one wrong punctuation can make several nights of hard work go to waste; one wrong cigarette butt can cause a lifetime of hard work to be wasted. Life's destiny completely changed. This is the importance of details, this is the power of details. Looking at our quality supervision system, you might as well ask, when people go to work in government agencies, do they "get up at the same time, give up their seats, pour water, do things four times, and see off guests the fifth time"; you might as well think about it, when answering the phone, whether Do "Hello, please say goodbye"; in the face of daily work, do you do "Today's things are done today, and tomorrow's things are planned today"; when you open the door, you warmly welcome the waiter who comes in the snow and hand you a cup Hot water, his "thank you" is enough to warm your heart. Do a good job in every detail, and you will gain the spring from winter. The true feelings are seen in the subtleties. A smile, an action, a little patience, and a greeting will all make the power of details "moisten things silently." Today, the party committee team has insight into details and scientific decision-making, and the cadres and workers are united and meticulously managed. All work has achieved remarkable results; the quality supervision reform has steadily advanced, economic income has reached a new level, financial expenditures have been steady and orderly, and the society has achieved remarkable results. The economy is developing rapidly. Details are the key to success, and details are the magic weapon for winning. Being meticulous in everything will make PepsiCo successful, and being meticulous every time will make a life. If all of us pay attention to details, we can achieve the prosperity of the quality inspection industry.
The details of the ancient temple deep in the mountains are due to the monks carrying water at the foot of the mountain; the beauty of the spring breeze is due to the colorful butterflies flying around. By grasping the details of life, we can experience more beauty. Paying attention to the beauty of details in work, we can better understand the giving of love, accumulate the nobility of our personality, and make our society more beautiful and harmonious. Let us remember one sentence: Small things make big things happen, details create brilliance!
3. In many cases, the success or failure of things depends on unknown details. "A hoof was not nailed, so a horse fell; a general was injured; a general was injured, and a war was lost; a war was lost, and a general was killed. Country." This story tells the story of whether a hoof nail is nailed properly or not, which is related to the life and death of a country and has cause and effect. You can see how important details are.
Details are ordinary, specific, and scattered, such as a sentence, an action, a small thing... Details are small and easily overlooked by people, but their role is inestimable. Some details will change the direction of development of things and change people's destiny. For individuals, details reflect quality; for departments, details represent image; for careers, details determine success or failure. Therefore, the story told above is not surprising.
For a person, every move, every move, every frown, and every smile is the externalization of his inner world and the embodiment of his thoughts and feelings. If we follow a person's tiny footprints, through his words and deeds, bit by bit, we will surely find the outcome of his life. Wise people are good at seeing the big from the small, and comprehend profound philosophy from ordinary trivial matters. There is actually no special reason why celebrities become celebrities. They just pay more attention to details than ordinary people. Details determine habits, habits determine character, and character determines destiny.
Xunzi said in "Encouraging Learning": "If you don't accumulate steps, you can't reach a thousand miles; if you don't accumulate small streams, you can't reach a river..." He told us that everything starts from small to large, and small things If you are unwilling to do it, great things will become a fantasy. However, for most of us, there are many people who want to do big things, but few people who are willing to do small things in detail; there are many strategists with ambitious strategies, but few executors who strive for excellence; there are many various management rules and regulations, but regulations Terms are rarely enforced to the letter. Therefore, we must change the problem of being impetuous and trying too little, and advocate establishing a sense of detail, paying attention to details, and doing small things carefully. This is the most basic prerequisite for a successful career.
People who cannot see the details, or do not take them seriously, lack a serious attitude towards work and can only deal with things perfunctorily. This kind of person cannot regard work as a kind of pleasure, but only as a kind of hard labor that has to be endured. Therefore, he lacks enthusiasm and hard work spirit in his work. They don't want to do small things, but they can't do big things. People who consider and pay attention to details not only take their work seriously and do small things carefully, but also pay attention to finding opportunities in the details of doing things, so as to put themselves on the road to success.
It is not easy to correctly understand and recognize the details and be able to do it as required.
It is the result of working hard to improve one's own quality and consciously develop good habits. Only by focusing on training and improving one's own insight in daily life, doing everything well and meticulously in life, and accumulating bit by bit, can quantity lead to a qualitative leap in the end. The person who can do this is a wise man, and the god of success and destiny will definitely favor him.
4. Details determine success or failure
What are details? Details are the little things behind every big thing. If you can't do small things well, how can you do big things?
I once heard such a story: A company recruiting senior management talents conducted a re-examination on a group of applicants. Although the applicants confidently answered the examiners' simple questions, none of them were admitted and had to leave. At this time, an applicant walked into the door and saw a paper ball on the carpet. The carpet was clean, but the paper ball looked out of place. The applicant picked up the paper ball and prepared to throw it into the wastebasket. At this time, the examiner spoke: "Hello, friend, please take a look at the paper ball you picked up!" The applicant hesitantly opened the paper ball and saw that it read: "You are warmly welcome to work in our company." A few years later, this candidate from the paper-picking group became the president of this famous large company.
This question was obviously designed to examine the details of job applicants, causing some hopeful applicants to fail. Here, an inadvertent detail determines the success or failure of the interview.
It can be seen that details are the foundation for doing any big thing. Moreover, details determine success or failure. Every centimeter of tilt of the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy may lead to the overturning of the ancient tower. 1% negligence may lead to 100% failure. Someone once said: "The era of refined management has arrived. We must pay attention to details and do small things well." Small things are also big things. Zhang Ruimin, President of Haier Group, said: "It is not easy to do every simple thing well. Doing every ordinary thing well is extraordinary.”
In short, details determine success or failure, and we must do the details well.
5. Life is wonderful because of setbacks
In the school of life, setbacks are a required course.
This course increases our courage; strengthens our will; strengthens our beliefs, making us stronger, braver, and more optimistic... I have such personal experience.
I love folk music and the pipa. When I first learned it, I encountered many setbacks, big and small. These setbacks almost knocked me down, and at one point I was ready to give up pipa. When I was discouraged, a successful performance on stage won me praise from many people.
I laughed. This success made me understand the beauty of setbacks. I understood that if there are no setbacks in life, life will be as dull as a cup of boiled water; if there are no setbacks in life, it will be like an endless desert. Without a little ups and downs, what's the meaning of life?
Perhaps, you are still shaking your head, saying these cannot convince you, then please watch Beethoven. Beethoven was deaf in both ears. You know, a musician loses his hearing like a driver loses his eyes. However, he endured the torture of illness and inspired himself with the words "I will hold the throat of fate and never let fate make me surrender" and continued to struggle in the field of music. He composed the immortal masterpiece "Ninth Symphony" . This not only gave his life a beautiful melody, but also brought wonderful life and beautiful feelings to people who love music all over the world.
Sima Qian wrote "Historical Records" in prison; Wu Chengen suffered repeated setbacks in the imperial examination, but he did not give up and wrote "Journey to the West"; Pu Songling, who had no ambition and lived in poverty in his life, created China The famous collection of classical Chinese short stories "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio"; Lu Xun was still able to write the well-known "Wandering" and "The Scream" despite the persecution of dark forces... and the paralyzed Ostrovsky and his "How Steel Was Tempered"; the violin prince Perlman, who was disabled for life due to polio...
When these living examples are shown in front of you, do you still shake your head? Do you still think that setbacks are just obstacles that prevent you from moving forward?
In fact, life is like the sea, and setbacks are like the waves in the sea, which give the sea its magnificence and mystery; life is like a blue sky, and setbacks are like white clouds in the blue sky, dotted with stars, but full of them; life is like a A blank piece of paper, and setbacks are like brushes that paint beautiful pictures on the white paper of life; life is a movement, and setbacks are the beating notes in this movement, the beautiful movement played...
If you choose the blue sky, don’t long for the wind and the sun; if you choose the land, don’t long for the flat continent; if you choose the ocean, don’t long for smooth sailing. Let us face setbacks bravely, and life will be more exciting because of setbacks!
