Attention to Detail 7 of 10

Attention to Detail

7 of 10

When you double-check your calculation 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 pursuits. He even paid attention to how his players would lace up and tie their shoes strings. If they didn't tie them correctly, he would teach them how.

Detail may be small things, but from small things come great things; therefor, pay attention to detail and you will experience substantial progress in your overall education attainments
