Attention
to Detail
7 of 10
When
you double-check your calculations for a math problem or cite sources carefully
in a research paper, you’re paying close attention to detail. That skill comes
in handy in any workplace, whether you maintain database, keep a log of the
hours you spend with clients or write-e-mails.
John Wooden, UCLA’s former great basketball coach who led his teams to ten
consecutive national championships, was asked what he attributed his success
to. Among a number of things, he mentioned that paying attention to details was
one of the most important qualities for successful coaching and for high
achievement in any worthwhile pursuit. He even paid attention to how his
players would lace up and tie their shoe strings. If they didn’t tie them
correctly, he would teach them how.
Details may be small things, but from small things
come great things; therefore, pay attention to details and you will experience
substantial progress in your overall educational attainment.
