Attention to Detail
7 to 10
When you double-check your calculations for a math problem
or cite source carefully in a research paper, you’re paying close attention to
detail. That skill comes in handy in any workplace, whether you maintain a
database, keep a log of the hours you spend with clients or write e-mails.
John Wooden, UCLA’s former great basketball coach who lead
his team 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
thing; therefore, pay attention to details and you will experience substantial
progress in your overall educational attainment.
