Attention to Detail
7 of 10
When you double-check you 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 lead his teams to ten consecutive national champions, was
asked what he attributed his success to. Among a number of things, he mentioned
that paying 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;
therefore, pay attention to details and you will experience substantial
progress in your overall educational attainment.
