Attention to detail is something everyone can and should do-especially in a tight job market. Bob Crossley, a human-resources expert notices this in the job applications that come cross his desk every day. “It’s amazing how many candidates eliminate themselves,”he says.

“Resumes arrive with stains. Some candidates don’t bother to spell the company’s name correctly. Once I see a mistake, I eliminate the candidate, ”Crossley concludes. If they cannot take of these details. “Why should we trust them with a job?”

Can we pay too much attention to detail? Perfectionists struggle over little things at the cost of something larger they work toward. “To keep from losing the forest for the trees,”says Charles Garfield, associate professor at the University of California, San Francisco, “we must constantly ask ourselves how the details we’re working on fit into the larger picture they don’t, we should drop them and move to something else.”

Garfield compares this process to his work as a computer scientist at NASA. “The Apollo II moon launch was slightly off-course 90 percent of the time,”says Garfield. “But a successful landing was still likely because we knew the exact coordinates of our goal. This allowed us to landing was still likely because we knew the exact coordinates of our goal. This allowed us to make adjustments as necessary.”Knowing where we want to go helps us judge the importance of every task we undertake.

Too often we believe what accounts for other’s success is some special secret or a lucky break. But rarely is success so mysterious. Again and again, we see that by doing little things within our grasp well, large rewards follow.

每个人都可以，而且应该对细节加以注意——尤其是在供过于求的就业市场上，Bob Crossley是一名人力资源专家，他在每日放到桌上的就职申请中注意到了这一点。他说道：“有许多候选人自己把自己给淘汰了，其人数之多令人吃惊。”（６６）简历送来时不够清洁，有污点。有些候选人把公司的名字拼错了。“我只要看到一个错误，就把候选人淘汰掉了。”Crossley总结到，“如果他们连这样的细节都注意不到，我们凭什么在工作中相信他们呢？”

我们对细节过分地注意会不会太过分呢？当然会。（６７）完美主义者以自己工作的较大目标为代价在小事情上纠缠不休。“为几棵树而放弃了森林”，在圣弗朗西斯科的加州大学副教授Charles Garfield说，“我们必须不断地问自己，我们关注的细节怎样与更大的事业相吻合。如果不符合的话，就应该丢下它们，去做其他的事情。”

Garfield将这一过程与他在国家航空宇航局任计算机科学家的工作相比较。“阿波罗二号向月球发射时有９０％的时间都稍稍偏离了航道，”Garfield说，“但还是有可能成功着陆的，因为我们知道目标的确切坐标。这使得我们在必要时可以做

出调整。”（６９）知道我们想去的地方是什么有助于我们判断我们从事的任务的重要性。
