Little details


Can really get to you when they are mistakes made by some corporation or government department

Because then you have to try and get the little detail changed

And very often the amount of work involved is out of all proportion to the little detail to be changed

The time and effort involved, the patience dealing with call centers, employees who often do not care or have any real interest is often frustrating

Little details though can come back to haunt us

The name spelt incorrectly resulting in a refusal or stubborn insistence that you change it

Then there are those little details that can save your life

Noticing that something has been moved

Noticing the door is open when you had shut it

Hearing a little noise that should not be there

Noticing that the birds are noisy

And so on

Two sides of little details on the one hand those that can cause real trouble on the other those that can save you real trouble

And in both cases if we are more aware we can be better off

So don't discount little details pay more attention to them they can save you big trouble later

Little details inform our lives

Become more aware of little details
