The topic composition of the college entrance examination can only be written at the beginning and end.

The greatest life is often made up of the smallest things. Careful observation and attention to small things are the best companions for success in life.

Cognitive details are subtle.

Our life consists of one detail after another, and the details are everywhere in our life. But what are the details? Are the details what we usually call "trivial matters"?

According to Modern Chinese Dictionary, details refer to "tiny links or plots". In the 1999 edition of Ci Hai, there are two opinions about "details". One is "trivial matters; Irrelevant behavior. " It gives an example, The Biography of Ban Chao in the Later Han Dynasty: "People are ambitious and don't prune small branches." The second is "the smallest unit that depicts people, events, scenes and natural scenery in detail in literary and artistic works." The revised edition of Ci Hai doesn't list examples about the second meaning, but we know that detail description is a yardstick to measure whether a writer has a good foundation. In other words, the success of detail description is an important factor to measure whether a writer has a solid foundation and whether his works are successful. Writer Lee Joon once said: "It's easy to write a novel and make up a story, but difficult to make up details, because details can only be found in life, but can't be made up. Without many real details, it is difficult for your work to impress readers. "

As can be seen from the above, details refer to "small links or plots" rather than "trivial matters and insignificant behaviors". The following is a story closely related to the details.

On the battlefield in Europe, Charles III was ready to fight to the death. The army led by Henry, Earl of Richmond, is coming, and the battle will decide who will rule Britain. On the morning of the battle, Charlie sent a groom to prepare his favorite war horse. "Hurry up and nail it," the groom said to the blacksmith. "The king wants to take the lead on it." "You have to wait," replied the blacksmith. "I photographed all the horses in Wang Jun a few days ago, and now I have to get some iron pieces." I can't wait. The groom shouted impatiently, "The king's enemies are attacking. We must face the enemy on the battlefield. You can use what you have and you will get it. " The blacksmith buried himself in his work, took four horseshoes from an iron bar, flattened them, shaped them, fixed them on the horseshoes, and then began to nail. After nailing three palms, he found that there were no nails to nail the fourth palm. "I need one or two nails," he said. "It will take some time to play two." "I told you I can't wait," said the groom eagerly. "I heard the sound of the bugle. Can you make do with nailing horseshoes? " "I can nail horseshoes, but I can't be as strong as others." "Can you hang up?" Asked the groom. "I think so," replied the blacksmith, "but I'm not sure." "Well, that's it," cried the groom. "Hurry up, or the king will blame us." When the two armies were at war, King Charles rushed in and urged the soldiers to meet the enemy. "Go, go!" Cried the king, leading his army towards the enemy. Far away, he saw several of his soldiers retreating on the other side of the battlefield. If others saw them like this, they would retreat, so Charlie took his horse and whip and rushed to the gap, telling the soldiers to turn their heads and continue fighting. Before halfway, a horseshoe fell, his horse fell to the ground and Charlie was overturned. The frightened horse jumped up and ran away before the king grabbed the reins. Charlie looked around, his soldiers turned and retreated, and the enemy surrounded him. He waved his sword in the air. "Horse!" He shouted: "A horse, my country was subverted because of this horse." He didn't have a horse to ride, his army fell apart and the soldiers were in trouble. In a short time, the enemy captured Charlie and the battle was over. All the losses are due to the lack of a horseshoe nail. Events in real life are sometimes like dominoes, and a little shaking will lead to the collapse of the whole system. Maybe just one product failed, which led to the closure of the factory. This is definitely not a fantasy. Therefore, it is possible to maintain the most perfect state by paying attention to every detail.

Functionally, what are the details? There is no doubt that the last horseshoe nail determines the outcome of the war and is the decisive factor.

Because details are careful observation and grasp of small things, they become successful partners in life journey.

As early as more than 500 years ago, an Arab shepherd named Cody happened to find a goat very excited and jumping around enjoying himself. He was very surprised and determined to find out the reason, so he began to pay attention to the goat, tracking and paying attention to its every move.

After several days of careful observation, he found that this unusual goat especially liked to eat red berries from a tree on the hillside, and he became excited after eating them. Curiosity drove him to eat some red berries on the tree. In a short time, he felt excited and couldn't help dancing happily.

Since then, every time he eats grass on the hillside, Cody will taste red berries. Once, when he was eating cranberries, he happened to be seen by a passing European missionary. Cody told the truth about his observation and experience, and the missionary immediately picked some red berries. After returning to his residence, he washed the red berries several times and boiled them in water to make them taste like juice. He tasted it patiently. I felt a little bitter at first, but then I was refreshed and full of vitality. From then on, he drank a pot of cranberry drink every day to moisten himself. After the missionary's enthusiastic propaganda, people around him followed suit and shared the excitement after drinking. In fact, that kind of cranberry is the coffee that many of us can't live without now.

After the magical use of coffee was initially verified, missionaries introduced it to European businessmen, which immediately attracted their great attention. They transplanted coffee trees to the local area, promoted planting on a large scale, and guided people to consume.

Later, in his missionary career, the missionary mentioned the wonderful use of coffee by accident many times, and said such a touching sentence: "The key to whether a person can find something is not the size of his own eyes, but whether he is good at observing with his own eyes. Careful observation of small things is a successful partner in art, science, career and life. "

It can be seen that everything should start from the details, otherwise there will be no outstanding achievements, let alone a brilliant life.

Details change fate

"One tree, one bodhi, one sand and one world". Everything in life is originally composed of details. If everything goes step by step, it will be the details that determine success or failure, and the competition for details is the highest and last level of competition.

Brilliant achievements come from details.

The road of life is tortuous, but the general direction of success is unchanged. Only by aiming at the general direction and modifying the specific plan from time to time can we truly reach the peak of success.

A father took three children to the desert to hunt camels.

They arrived at their destination.

Father asked the boss, "What do you see?"

The boss replied, "I saw shotguns, camels and endless deserts."

Father shook his head and said, "No."

The father asked the second child the same question.

The second child replied, "I saw my father, brother, shotgun, camel and desert."

Father shook his head again and said, "No."

The father asked the third child the same question.

The third replied, "I only saw camels."

Father said happily, "correct answer."

Perhaps the details are very detailed, but it is precisely because of the details that we are easily overlooked and thus confused by other so-called "big goals." In the end, it will put the cart before the horse and fail to achieve the expected success.

Many people attribute their failure to bad luck. In fact, success mostly depends on the usual knowledge accumulation and literacy.

Stallone, a famous American action movie star, has always dreamed of becoming an actor since he dropped out of high school. However, he obviously does not have the conditions to be an actor. It's hard to be confident just by looking at his appearance, and he has no professional training and no commendable talent. However, the belief in success gave Stallone great spiritual support. He believes that as long as he does not give up, he will succeed.

So he came to Hollywood to look for directors, stars and producers. ...

Everyone who can make him an actor has been searched, but no one pays attention to him. Every time he said sincerely, "Give me a chance, I want to be an actor, and I will succeed!" " "But for, it is cold eyes and sneer at.

But he was not discouraged. He thinks that failure must have its own reasons, so he conducts self-reflection, self-examination and studies hard again and again. Later, when the money ran out, Stallone had to do some heavy physical work in Hollywood to make a living. Two years later, he was rejected more than 100 times.

He has been sad and hesitant, but his heart is more unconvinced. So he began to write plays, hoping to get an opportunity to be an actor through his own plays. A year later, the script was written, and he visited many directors with the script. As a result, few people appreciate his works. Even if one or two people were interested, they shook their heads and refused when they heard that he wanted to be the leading actor.

But he still didn't lose heart, didn't lose heart, just kept saying to himself, "I can do it, I will succeed!" " Later, a director who rejected him more than 20 times said to him, "I don't know if you can play it well." "But I was moved by your persistent spirit. I can give you a chance, but I will change your script into a TV series, shoot an episode first, and you will be the leading actor. If the effect is good, we will continue. If the effect is not good, you will cut off this idea from now on! "

Stallone has been preparing for this exciting moment for three years. He devoted himself to filming. Heaven rewards hard work, and he succeeded! The first episode of this TV series set the highest viewing record in the United States at that time. All Americans know Stallone's name!

From the excellent life experiences of some successful people, we can easily see that their success is because they have set a very clear goal, and this goal is not limited to personal gains and losses. On the contrary, they can combine this goal with their sense of responsibility to society, thus gaining an extraordinary courage and strength, so that they can finally reach the other side of success.

"I saw a thief eating meat, but I didn't see a thief being beaten." Similarly, in the eyes of many people, the success of others is just an accident, a kind of luck, and you can't see your usual efforts. They are always seeking such good luck, and it also falls from the sky and falls on their own heads.

"God helps those who stand on their own feet" is a good motto. God never helps lazy people. Without the usual accumulation and summary, the opportunity has come and can only be missed again and again. Therefore, we should pay attention to seemingly trivial things and pay attention to accumulation.

Accumulate, accumulate one little thing after another, until one day, you will be surprised to find out what a great person you are. For example, Lei Feng didn't do anything earth-shattering, but he cherished every little thing, regarded every little thing as a new starting point and a major event, and devoted all his enthusiasm and hard work. Who can doubt his greatness-greatness is actually ordinary.

Annual accumulation is better than quarterly accumulation; It is better to accumulate every quarter than every month; It is better to accumulate every month than every day.

Success is also a detail, so is failure.

The stream of life is often composed of trivial things, unimportant events and subtle experiences that leave no trace afterwards, which constitute the whole connotation of life.

Cao Zhi is a born writer, but he is not a qualified politician. He acted like a child, so he did it, regardless of the consequences, and only focused on being free and easy in front of him.

One year, Cao Cao led troops to attack Dongwu, leaving Cao Zhi to guard Yecheng. Later, Sun Quan surrendered, and Cao Cao returned to Yecheng victorious. As soon as he got home, someone told Cao Zhi that he was "good at opening Sima Gate and galloping in Chidao". This made Cao Cao very angry. It turns out that Sima Gate is the main entrance of Wei Palace, and only Cao Cao himself can drive in and out. "Chi Dao" is a special lane for the emperor, which is extremely magnificent. Cao Cao is also a "big name" figure than the emperor, and he also built the "Chidao".

Cao Cao is not at home, and Cao Zhi is fascinated and playing crazy. In fact, where does he have the ambition to usurp the throne? But Cao Cao doesn't think so. "I'm not dead, so I want to replace it? ! "

Cao Zhi not only resented Cao Cao because he was "good at opening Sima door and galloping on the road", but also because he was extremely careless in his work and messed up things after drinking too much, which made Cao Cao even more angry. Once Coss was besieged by Guan Yu, and Cao Zhi was ordered to go to the rescue. Originally, it was a good opportunity to show off, but Cao Zhi failed to control himself because he missed a big event by drinking. At this point, Cao Cao completely lost confidence in Cao Zhi.

It can be seen that if you want to achieve great things, you can't indulge yourself and ignore the details; On the contrary, the more attention paid to details, the more "restraint", the easier it is to succeed.

Some people think that "doing great things freely" means being a willing person. We should do great things and achieve great things instead of sticking to trivial details. "The details are harmless, why make a mountain out of a molehill"? Actually, it is not. Everything has a process of quantitative change to qualitative change, and small problems also have a subtle effect. Usually a minor illness may turn into a serious illness, and a minor illness may turn into a major illness. "The embankment of thousands of feet collapsed in the ant nest; A room 100 feet is burning with smoke from a sudden gap "and" if you don't worry about the micro, it will become a huge disaster; " If you don't prevent it from being small, you will eventually lose your virtue. " This is a fact.

In the Song Dynasty, there was a man named Lv Yuanying who worked as a county magistrate in Du Dong. Once, he asked a subordinate who was in charge of money and food to play chess. Just then, suddenly someone came to report that there was something urgent to deal with. Lv Yuan had no choice but to let Qian Guan wait for him to come back and continue playing this chess game.

When Lv Yuan left to deal with an urgent matter, Qian Guan took the opportunity to steal a chess piece, and finally turned the tables on the unfavorable situation. Lv Yuan realized this at that time, but he didn't reply. After a while, Lv Yuan moved Qian Liangguan away under an excuse, and predicted that this person would eventually be convicted of corruption.

I really said it later! Soon came the news that Qian was stabbed to death three thousand miles away for hiding public funds.

Great things are made up of small things. Doing these little things well may not necessarily have amazing results, but if we don't take care of them, it will inevitably affect major events in the end.

Laozi once said: "The difficulties in the world will be easy; The world's major events must be done in detail, "which brilliantly points out that if you want to achieve something, you must start from simple things and start from nuances. "

This truth is easy to understand. Just like a financial officer filling out a check or report, you write everything carefully and fill it out correctly, which is not a great thing. But if you accidentally fill in the wrong numbers, you may have to fill in the whole report again. If you don't check it after filling it out, giving this wrong report to customers or other institutions may cause irreparable losses.

So doing small things seriously is a necessary condition for achieving great things. If you do this, great things may not succeed-because there are many factors that affect the success of great things, but if you don't do this, great things will not succeed.

In today's society, "informal" people are becoming less and less popular, and they can't get the opportunity to achieve great things. Only those who are responsible for themselves and do things meticulously will be rewarded by fate.

When a school recruits teachers, it needs to choose one of several candidates through interviews. Several candidates have made careful preparations. After the bell rang, the candidates walked to the podium with smiles on their faces. After exchanging greetings between teachers and students, they began to give lectures. Introduce new lessons, teach texts, summarize, review and consolidate ... In order to avoid mistakes, everyone carries out all the work according to this standard lecture process. In order to avoid cramming, a candidate also designed several classroom questions according to the previous candidates. However, due to the poor design of the topic, the students' response is not very good. At the end of class, candidates feel that their performance is not ideal compared with before, and there is almost no possibility of success.

Who knows, the next day, the lecturer who thought he had no hope unexpectedly received the employment notice. He was surprised and asked the headmaster why he was chosen. The headmaster smiled and said, "To tell the truth, your performance is really inferior to others in terms of the wonderful degree of that class. But when you ask questions in class, one detail you show is enough to make others feel ashamed. Because you call students by their names, not their student numbers, not with your fingers. If a teacher doesn't want to know and respect his students, how can he educate them well? You are the only one who calls out the students' names, so you are the only one who has been chosen. "

Many people think they are very capable, but they can't wait for the opportunity to make a fortune, so they complain. It is really providence to have a hard time with him. Is someone else suppressing him? The opposite is true. In fact, in the eyes of others, he not only has no outstanding talent, but also often makes a mess of his work. Not only is it impolite to treat people, but it is often self-righteous. Therefore, if you want to achieve great things, you must pay attention to details.

A poor man will become rich overnight because of an opportunity, a porter will become a philosopher, and a mortal will become a world-famous great man, not because of an opportunity. In a word, a person can only make continuous progress if he keeps pursuing; Constant action will bring us close to the successful destination; Continuous accumulation will bring about continuous improvement; Keep taking small steps and you will have the strength to take big steps.

Germans understand this truth very well, so they take things very seriously. No matter how small things are, they never handle them carelessly and demand that they do their best in everything.

People who have taken the Shanghai subway can easily feel the difference between Metro Line 1 and Metro Line 2. Line 1 has a wide platform and is very convenient to get on and off. In order to remind passengers to stay away from the track, the 1 line is decorated with metal within 50 cm near the platform, and one edge is embedded with black marble. In this way, when passengers approach the edge of the platform, they will have a sense of "vigilance" and consciously stay away from the dangerous area. In order to prevent passengers from accidentally falling off the platform and save the heat of the platform, the designer of line 1 has designed corresponding platform doors in every place, which is very convenient for the opening and closing of the carriages.

The designer of line 1 designed a turn at each subway exit and three steps at the outdoor exit. At first, people didn't understand the reason for this design. Isn't this an increase in cost? It was not until Line 2, which lacked these facilities, was put into use that people realized the necessity of this design. In fact, the reason is very simple. If you leave the air conditioner on at home and the doors and windows open at the same time, you will be worried about the extra electricity bill every month. Adding a bend at the exit can greatly reduce the electricity bill and save money. As for the design of the three steps, it reflects the designer's intention. Shanghai is low-lying. In summer, rain often traps some buildings. The design of the three steps at the subway entrance can prevent rainwater from flowing backwards, thus reducing the flood control pressure of the subway.

In contrast, the designer of Metro Line 2 is too careless. Decorative lines are not used to remind passengers of the danger, so passengers often inadvertently approach the danger zone, and the subway company has to arrange special personnel to remind passengers to pay attention to safety; In order to "save costs", the platform door of Line 2 is omitted. As a result, after it was put into use, passengers often accidentally fell off the platform, and in winter, the temperature in the platform was very low, so they had to turn on the air conditioner to raise the temperature. The exits of Line 2 are all designed as straight lines, so the electricity consumption is much more than that of Line 1. The outdoor third-class line 2 has also been omitted, and as a result, it is often flooded in rainy days, causing huge economic losses. It is precisely because the designers of Line 2 do not pay attention to small details that the operating cost of Line 2 is much higher than that of Line 1.

The designer of line 1 is German, and the designer of line 2 is from China. Why is there such a big gap between Line 1 and Line 2? Isn't China smarter than the Germans? No, China people are not lacking in wisdom. What they really lack is a "refined" spirit.

It is certainly an attitude to do big things in an informal way, but it is often a very dangerous practice. There are countless examples where important events are sometimes missed in informal situations.

No matter at work or in life, only by doing things seriously can we do things perfectly. No matter what you do, if you want to get good grades, you should not only have intelligence, but more importantly, you should be energetic and do it with your heart, so that you can do things well. If you do things carelessly and relax yourself in small things, the final result is that you can't do big things.
