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 the importance of paying attention to the small, everyday details in life rather than being preoccupied with grandiose and distant goals. It suggests that true success is achieved by focusing on the immediate tasks and responsibilities that lie in front of us, rather than indulging in lofty aspirations that may seem unattainable. By prioritizing the small things, we can build a solid foundation for success and cultivate a mindful and present approach to life.
