Ignorance of significance

Details can be the difference between something good and a work of art.  A slight change could be all that is needed. The end result can be staggering.

Big things tend to take care of themselves. It is that which we overlook which comes back to haunt us. The ghost will not leave while the flaw remains.

We will be reminded of what has been missed. Even if no one else notices, it will stick out like a sore thumb. The only remedy is to correct our mistake.

It does not pay to do sloppy work. Most likely, the client will seek out someone more professional. And then, one's resources will begin to dwindle.

Always strive to make the next thing better than the last. Mend any tears and make the rough edges smooth. The quality will show how much you care.

Ignorance of significance is no excuse. Making changes is inconvenient, but necessarily so. One can either fix it now, or dwell upon it indefinitely.

  1. The minor details can become major flaws if we overlook them. We should express quality in all things, and have a willingness to change things for the better.

    1. Usually, these things are not overlooked but are swept under the rug. Even if no one else knows, you know the truth. Do it right the first time and there will be nothing to regret.

    1. It is easy to overlook things when you believe you are above them. But the details have a tendency to remind you of their presence. When the cracks start to spread, everything is imperiled.
