I thought about the ups and downs of a recent event. Why the ups? Why the downs? As I thought about it, I realized that the simple reason for the downs was the lack of attention to the little things. As for the ups, those events received the attention needed. In the end, the lesson learned is that it's important to take the little things seriously.
When we discount the simple details of an event or endeavor, we leave the situation up to chance. Sometimes that's just perfect, but at other times, that leaves an event or endeavor lacking. Onward.
