TEXT A Attention to details 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 candidates," 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 tree." Says Charles Garfield, an
associate professor at the University of California, San Francisco, "we must
constantly ask ourselves bow the details we’re 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 Ⅱ moon launch was lightly 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 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 best title for this passage would be ______.
A.Don’t Be a Perfectionist B.Details and Major Objectives C.Importance of Adjustments D.Hard Work Plus Good Luck
