Success is not as detailed as failure. Why do you say that?

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, not thinking about the consequences, but focusing 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 have amazing results, but if we treat them carelessly, it will inevitably affect the big things 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, people who are "informal" are increasingly unpopular. It is even more impossible to get a chance to achieve great things. Only those who are responsible for themselves and do things meticulously will be rewarded by fate.

To recruit teachers, schools need 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 to be straight, so the electricity consumption is much higher than that of Line 1. The outdoor three steps of Line 2 are also saved, 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.

Those who achieve great things will be arrested. People who ignore small things and specialize in big things often achieve less than those who do small things. On the contrary, the more attention paid to details, the more "restraint", the easier it is to succeed.
