There is no trivial matter in the work, and it often pays a huge price because of a little negligence. This is not sensational, nor is it a fuss. In human history, there are too many lessons of failure because of ignoring details.
The historical fact that King Richard of England was defeated in the Persian Battle and therefore abdicated makes people feel sad. The world famous writer Shakespeare once commented on this battle: "Horse, horse, a horse lost its country!" " "
1485, King Richard of England led an army and the army led by Henry, Earl of Richmond, fought a famous battle in the world history-the Battle of Persia. This battle will decide who will rule Britain.
On the morning of the battle, Richard sent a groom to prepare his favorite war horse.
"Hurry up and nail it," the groom said to the blacksmith. "The king wants to take the lead on it."
"You have to wait," replied the blacksmith. "I nailed all the horses in Wang Jun the other day, and now I have to find some iron pieces."
I can't wait. The groom shouted impatiently, "The king's enemies are advancing. We must face the enemy on the battlefield. Use whatever you have. "
The blacksmith took four horseshoes from an iron bar, flattened them, shaped them, fixed them on the horseshoes, and then began to nail. After nailing three palms, he found that there were no nails to nail the fourth palm.
"I need one or two nails," he said. "It will take some time to play two."
"I told you, I can't wait," said the groom eagerly. "I heard the sound of the bugle. Can you make do with it? "
"I can nail horseshoes, but I can't be as strong as others."
"Can you hang up?" Asked the groom.
"I think so," replied the blacksmith, "but I'm not sure."
"Well, that's it," cried the groom. "Hurry up, or the king will blame us both."
When the two armies confronted each other, King Richard took the lead in urging the soldiers to face the enemy. "Go, go!" He shouted and led the troops to the enemy's defense. Far away, he saw several of his own soldiers retreating on the other side of the battlefield. If others saw them like this, they would retreat, so Richard rushed to the gap with his horse and whip and called the soldiers to turn and fight.
Halfway through, a horseshoe fell, the horse fell to the ground, and Richard was thrown to the ground.
The frightened beast jumped up and ran away before the king grabbed the reins again. Richard looked around, his soldiers turned and retreated, and the enemy surrounded him.
He waved his sword in the air. "Horse!" He shouted: "A horse, my country was subverted because of this horse."
He has no horse to ride, his army has fallen apart, and the soldiers have their own problems. In a short time, the enemy captured Richard and the battle was over.
Since then, people have said:
One nail is missing and one horseshoe is missing.
A horseshoe is missing, and so is a war horse.
We lost a battle without horses.
Lost a battle and lost a country.
All the losses are due to the lack of a horseshoe nail.
This famous battle, which will go down in history forever, tells us a truth: it may be just a small negligence, and the price paid is quite expensive.
Although such an earth-shattering event will not happen in our daily work, it does not mean that we can be careless.
Researchers have summed up an "accident law": behind every serious safety accident, there are 29 minor accidents, 300 near misses and 1000 hidden dangers. These minor accidents, near misses and hidden dangers can be discovered with a little attention. But if we ignore the details, accidents and losses will be inevitable one day.
There is no trivial matter in the work, and there is no room for negligence. However, whether at work or in life, we tend to ignore some seemingly insignificant and indifferent trivial matters. Often hold a trivial and indifferent attitude. In fact, some seemingly insignificant details and elements are the lifeblood of the work.
Ring the atlantic, once the most advanced seagoing ship in the world, just because a crew member bought an inappropriate desk lamp and a group of crew members with low alertness and sense of responsibility, 2 1 person was buried in the sea.
In the whole process of the accident, everyone's responsibility seems to be very small, but after continuous development, it has become out of control.
When the rescue boat sent by Hai Shun Ocean Shipping Company of Brazil arrived at the accident site, the seagoing vessel "ring the atlantic" disappeared, and 2/kloc-0 crew members were missing. Only one life-saving radio station on the sea rhythmically sent out a distress signal. Rescuers looked at the calm sea in a daze, and no one could understand what happened in this place with excellent sea conditions, which led to the sinking of this most advanced merchant ship. At this time, someone found a sealed bottle tied to the bottom of the radio station. When they opened the bottle, there was a piece of paper with 2/kloc-0 handwriting on it, which read:
Richard Yishui: On March 2 1, I bought a desk lamp privately in Auckland Port, and wanted to use it for lighting when writing letters to my wife.
Second mate Thurman: I saw Richard coming back to the boat with a desk lamp, saying that the base of this desk lamp is light, so don't let it fall when the boat shakes, but there is no interference.
Third Mate Patty: On the afternoon of March 2 1, when the ship left the port, I found that there was something wrong with the life raft releaser, so I tied the life raft to the shelf.
Davis Ershui: We found that the door closers in the sailor's area were damaged during the departure inspection, so we fastened the door with iron wire.
Er Guanlun antle: When I was checking the fire control facilities, I found that the fire hydrant in the sailor area was rusty. I thought I would arrive at the dock in a few days, and I'll change it then.
Captain Mackam: When I set sail, I was busy with my work and didn't read the safety inspection reports of the deck department and the engine department.
Daniel, the mechanic: On the morning of March 23rd, the fire detector in Richard and suler's room gave off alarms continuously. After Walter and I went in, we didn't find any flames, so we thought the detector was misreported and took it to Whitman to ask for a new one.
Mechanic Walter: I'm Walter.
Whitman: I said I was busy. I'll bring it to you later.
Attendant Sconi: I went to Richard's room on March 23rd 13. He wasn't here, so I sat for a while and turned on his desk lamp.
Chief Mate Kemp: At 6:5438+3:30 pm on March 23rd, I took Su Le and Robert on a security patrol. I didn't go into Richard and Su Le's room and said, "Go to your room.".
Yishui Sule: I smiled and didn't enter the room. I followed Kemp.
Yishui Robert: I didn't go into the room either. I followed Suller.
Cohen, Mechanical and Electrical Engineer: On March 23rd, 14, I found that I tripped, because this phenomenon had happened before. Without much thought, I closed the brakes and didn't check the reason.
Ma Xin: If you think the air is bad, call the kitchen first, and then ask the computer room to open the ventilation valve after it is proved that there is no problem.
Chef Shiro: When I answered Masin's phone, I joked, What's the problem here? Why don't you come and help us cook? Then he asked Ursula, "Are we all safe here?"
Ursula, the second chef: I replied that I feel bad about the air, too, but I think we are safe here, so I continue to cook.
Mechanic Nubo: I opened the ventilation valve after receiving Masin's call.
Person in charge of Desmond: 14: 30. I called all the people who were not in their posts to the kitchen to help cook and have dinner at night.
Dr. Morris: I didn't make rounds.
Electrician Holland: Run into the restaurant on duty at night.
Finally, Captain Mackam wrote: 19: 30 When the fire was discovered, Richard and suler's room had burned through, and everything was terrible. We can't control the fire. It's getting bigger and bigger. Until the whole ship caught fire. Each of us made a small mistake, which eventually led to a big mistake.
After reading this note, the rescuers didn't speak, and the sea was dead silent. Everyone seems to have clearly seen the whole process of the accident. ...
"The embankment of a thousand miles, collapsed in the ant nest". For a long time, many people have always thought that this idiom is just a negative teaching material. There is no such case in real life, but there have been too many examples to prove that "a thousand miles of embankment collapsed in an ant nest" does exist.
Many people despise small things and think that small things are not worth doing, thus leaving hidden dangers for their work.
There are no small things at work. All successful people, like us, go all out for small things every day. The only difference is that they never think that the little things they do are simple.
Don't look down on small things, don't hate small things, as long as they are good for our work and career, no matter how small, we should treat them as big things. The career building built with small things is solid, and the work done with small things is truly high-quality work-doing the details is the basis for doing all the work well, and it is also the necessary premise and condition for doing the big things well.
No matter what occupation you are engaged in, no matter what position you are in, no matter how high or low your position is, you should develop the habit of paying attention to details and a highly serious and rigorous attitude, and regard small things as major events. Otherwise, you will pay a high price for it.
