There are a lot of great people we look up too, my personal favorite is Micheal Jackson. He was a unique artist and a legend who's name in the music industry can never be wiped away. There are great names in diverse industries, Steve Jobs, Cristiano Ronaldo, Floyd Mayweather, Bill Gates. Some people have solidified their names in their industries. Not everyone can do such big things in life.
But anyone and everyone can do small things. Don't underestimate the power of small things because they can have a big impact if only they're done well.
As a matter of fact, the great people are great because they do what they do at an exceptional level. For a person to do a small thing well, they need to care about it and give it their maximum focus and attention.
There's a common phrase,
It's the little things that matter
This is so true. Something as little as a smile or a complement done well can change a person's day.
Always choose to do your job carefully than quickly. Yes, speed is necessary for productivity but going at the speed of light in the wrong direction is the most pointless thing you can do to waste your own time.
You can make anything mean something just by doing it right. People will take notice of the extra effort or flair you put into doing something ordinary, no matter how little that thing is.
And those little efforts done repeatedly builds trust between you and others. Any work you do, whether it's rendering a service or selling a product, your final goal is to get the customer, and you can't do that without trust can you?
That's why consistency in doing something right also matters and it's what will create the big results you'll looking for over time.
The special little things you do, not only helps people but can also inspire others to do same and inspiration is a very important thing, if we inspire ourselves, we all do great things and the world moves in a positive, productive direction.
Melancholics have a trait where they pay close attention to details, however it's a habit that can be learned. Attention to detail makes ordinary things become extraordinary.
The great achievers I mentioned at the beginning all started small and they took it one step at a time to the very top of their craft. The little success you get has a way of giving you the courage to attempt bigger challenges and as you go on, you become great.
Start now with little things, little efforts done repeatedly eventually grows into habits of excellence. You'll learn the virtue of patience in life by being patient with your small tasks.
