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 across 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 care of these details, why should we trust them with a job.’?"
Can we pay too much attention to details? Absolutely. 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 are working on fit into the larger picture. If 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 1I moon launch was slightly off-course 90% 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 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 others’ 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.
The example of the Apollo Ⅱ moon launch is given to illustrate that ______.
选项
A、minor, mistakes can be ignored in achieving major objectives
B、failure is the mother of success
C、adjustments are the key to the successful completion of any work
D、keeping one’s goal in mind helps in deciding which details can be overlooked
答案
D
解析
这一例子在文中第四段,作者在这一例子前引用Garfield的话时就说到了整体目标帮助我们对所做的事进行取舍。在例子末尾又总结了一句Knowing where we want to go helps us judge the importance of every task we undertake,故选D。
