The saying that "little things count" can't be overemphasized. We pay more attention to the big things while we pay less attention to the little things just because they are "little". Whereas most of the important and beautiful things of life are hidden in the little things that most people overlook. The ability to be calm enough to pay attention to details, the little details is what distinguish successful people from people who fail.
The act of paying attention is not something that is easy to come by these days considering the fact that the world has become so noisy and things are done very hurriedly. You see people rushing to complete tasks without observing the little hidden pointers that can make their work more easy and efficient. There are people who seamlessly pay attention to details, some find it very difficult no matter how much efforts they put into doing it because they have practcised not paying attention to details for a long time and it has become more of an habit.

There is a Yoruba adage that is paraphrased as "if the eye is patient and calm enough, it will see the nose". In other words, we need to learn how to pay attention to details which can only be achieved through patience. I remember when I was much younger when my dad will send me to get something for him from the room, I will rush in and rush out and tell him that I didn't see it. He will describe the exact location where he placed the item (glasses, wallet, newspaper, clipper, among others) and tell me to go get it but it's still the same reply I will give him. When he's fed up he will stand up and tell me to follow him and he will pick the item up.
This is a simple illustration of how we do not discover things because we are always in a hurry. It would be interesting to know how you'd be a better person in your career, to your family and so on if you learn to pay attention to things that you may ordinarily have overlooked. The things that you feel are not important or too minute may be the key to unlocking your success. In addition, do you know that when you develop the habit of paying attention to little details it will be easy for you to identify and make use of opportunities that others can not even see. Above all, it will help you to make less errors, make you a better person and make life easy for you.

Absent mindedness is one of the reason people fail to pay attention to details. How will you pay attention to little details when you can't even pay attention to the more obvious ones due to the fact that your mind is not always present. There are people who will be in a place but their mind is far, wandering up and down. In such cases it may be difficult to pay attention to details. A person who is absent minded is also battling with distractions. Distractions will prevent you from taking note of vital pointers that you need to progress and it needs to be get rid of for anyone who wants to develop the habit of paying attention to little details.
Thank you for your time lovelies.
