Attention to detail is something everyone can and should do - especially in 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 cross out themselves," he says. "Resumes (简历)arrive with faults. Some candidates don"t bother to spell the company"s name correctly. Once I see a mistake, I cross out 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? 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, the 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. 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 slightly off course 90 percent of the time," says Garfield. "But a successful landing was still likely because we knew the exact position of our goal. This allowed us to make adjustments as necessary." Knowing where 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. |

Today, almost everyone has heard of Harry Potter. The books detailing his experiences at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry have aroused passion, creativity, and interest in reading throughout the world. But have you ever considered why you are a fan of the Harry Potter series? JK Rowling has created a list of characters and an environment for them to inhabit that appeals to both adults and children. The fantasy aspect of the wizarding world expands the imagination, and takes the mind to new and exciting places. Anything could happen there. Her stories contain parts of the believable and unbelievable, changing the predictability that readers commonly come across and bear in fiction. The main theme of the series, including good versus evil, prejudice, love, death, sacrifice, friendship and loyalty, in actuality contributes to the ever-lasting nature of the stories. At the same time, these themes remind us of classic literature, offering mature readers tales that wear like a comfortable pair of shoes, while introducing younger readers to concepts they will meet throughout their lives. Much of the appeal also comes from the characters. In each book, JK Rowling introduces and describes the characters in such a way that we wonder not only about their futures, but also about their pasts. Even supporting characters are suddenly more than just extras in the background. And what of Harry Potter himself? We care about Harry, because we watch him grow from an innocent boy to a powerful wizard. We see him as both Hero and Victim. He experiences endless love and extreme pain, and as readers, we experience them with him. This perfect combination of emotion, suspense and fantasy, together with the fact that JK Rowling is a superb storyteller is the reason why we are Harry potter fans. People are fond of Harry Potter series. With books like these, it"s hard not to be. |
