Details can determine success or failure. What is this book about?
The best-selling book "Details Decide Success or Failure" tells that in a highly competitive society, it is often the details that are easily overlooked that determine success or failure, and it is also some details that distinguish the quality of people, the management level of enterprises and enterprises, and the quality of running schools. In fact, it is not difficult to understand that details determine success or failure, because any advanced concept and any excellent culture will always be reflected through details in the end. The difference between people, enterprises and schools is not reflected by personality, but by personality, and personality is expressed by details. Similarly, the level of school logistics management is ultimately judged not by how beautiful you speak and how loud your slogan is, but by the details. Therefore, the school mainly changes teachers' ideas through details, which reflects the principal's idea of serving teachers, students and parents, and also reflects the teacher's idea of serving students and parents. Through some details, it reflects the management level and pursues the quality of running schools. Please look at the case:

(1) There is a new umbrella in the reception office. One morning, it was sunny and the students arrived at school on time. However, the weather is unpredictable. At noon, it suddenly began to rain cats and dogs. The school gate is crowded with people. Many parents rushed to school to send umbrellas to their children, and many students anxiously hoped that parents could come to school to send umbrellas. Such scenes often happen in schools, and we seem to have become accustomed to them. But when I saw the scene at the school gate, it caused me a lot of thinking. I don't think all parents are free to come to school to send umbrellas to students. Even if they are free, it will add a lot of trouble to them. Why doesn't the school prepare some umbrellas in the reception room to relieve parents and students' worries? So, I asked the comrades in the General Affairs Department to buy hundreds of umbrellas and put them in the reception room of the school for students to borrow when needed.

(2) Wider corridors, more bathrooms and shorter pools. In 2003, the school built a new teaching building. The biggest difference between this building and the traditional teaching building is that the corridor is wider, there are more bathrooms and the pool is shorter. The corridor is wider than before, and the bathroom is more than before. One is inspired by students' opinions and suggestions, and the other is influenced by the architectural structure of Japanese schools. I remember at a flag-raising ceremony, students put forward many opinions and suggestions on school work. One of them suggested that the corridor should be wider to facilitate them to carry out sports activities after class. At that time, I felt that the opinions put forward by the students were very reasonable, and immediately said that it was impossible to widen the corridor of the old house for the time being. When building a new house, the corridor must be widened. Therefore, when designing the new teaching building, we specially proposed to the designer that the corridor should be as spacious as possible. Therefore, the corridor of the new teaching building is more than 3 meters wide, and cars can pass through it. It is very convenient for students to carry out activities after class. In 2002, I visited Japan. What impressed me most about their campus is not that the area is bigger than ours, nor that the house is better than ours. On the contrary, their buildings are very ordinary, not fashionable enough, without decoration and simple cement painting, and their visual effects can't be compared with what we call "modern schools". But there are several facilities in our school that can't compare with them. First of all, the corridor is not as wide as theirs. Second, there are not as many toilets and the equipment is not as good as theirs. The Japanese explanation is simple: the corridor is wide, it is convenient for students to move, there are many toilets, and the equipment is good, so that every student can solve the "urgent need" after class and have a comfortable environment. Japanese are really smart. They can not only put people first, but also spend money on the cutting edge. Influenced by Japanese campus buildings, our new teaching building has only six classrooms on each floor, but there are two toilets with relatively large areas in the middle of each floor. In the past, we designed the height of the pool according to the height of adults, so the pool was generally made higher, which brought inconvenience to students to wash their hands and use water. Therefore, the sink of the new teaching building is much shorter than the traditional sink. If you look closely, you will find that the pool on the fourth floor of the new teaching building is higher than that on the first floor. Guess what the reason is? There is a simple reason. The fourth floor is the classroom for senior students, and the first floor is the classroom for junior students.

(3) Children of the poor and children of the rich received gifts from the school on Children's Day. Every school should provide relief for poor children, solve their living difficulties and express their concern. Schools often hold grand gatherings before Children's Day, inviting poor children to take the stage to accept donations. School leaders made a speech, encouraging students to study hard, and representatives of poor students spoke, thanking the school for their concern and expressing their determination to study hard and repay the school's concern. The value of this traditional activity is not only rarely questioned by people, but also praised by many people, so that we can often see poor students queuing on the podium to accept cash or gifts from rich people or leaders on TV. If we don't do it for "show", then inadvertently we will deeply hurt students' self-esteem. No student wants others to know that his family is poor, and no student is willing to accept charity in public. The poor want to be cared for by others, but they don't want others to pity themselves. In our school, poor children can also be taken care of by the school, but the difference is that our care is the care that students are willing to accept without showing traces. Before Children's Day, the poor children in the school will receive a gift, but not in the name of the school, but in the name of the class teacher or classroom teacher. The name of the gift is not because the students are poor, but for various other reasons. For example, I have made progress in my studies recently, I have achieved excellent results in related competitions, my birthday is coming, and so on. In order not to let the poor students see through the teacher's intentions, they must give gifts quietly in private, and at the same time, they should also give some rich children a gift, so that children can feel at ease when accepting gifts. The more such details are reflected in our school, the better. Their appearance is not the result of the headmaster's attention to details, but the result of putting themselves in the shoes of students, teachers and parents. Logistics management is a science, which can be reflected from the details. Logistics management is also an art, which needs to be expressed through details. Only in this way can education reach the realm of "sneaking into the night with the wind and moistening things silently".
