Quote by Booker T. Washington

Success in life is founded upon attention to the small things rather than to the large things to the every day things nearest to us rather than to the things that are remote and uncommon.

Success in life is founded upon attention to the small thing

Summary

This quote emphasizes that success in life is not achieved by only focusing on major accomplishments or distant goals, but by paying attention to the small, everyday details. It highlights the importance of being present and mindful in our daily lives, as it is the consistent effort in the small things that ultimately leads to success. By prioritizing what is closest to us and consistently tending to the ordinary aspects of life, we lay a strong foundation for achievements that go beyond what is remote and exceptional.
