Those who give too much attention to trifling things become generally incapable of great ones.
So many people spend so much time on things that aren't important. It's the difference between success and failure.
You don't look at it as the size of the role. Quantity is not the point. You can be as thorough in 30 seconds as you can in three hours.
Nothing is more unworthy of a wise man, or ought to trouble him more, than to have allowed more time for trifling, and useless things, than they deserve.
If you continually ask yourself, "What's important now?", you won't waste time on the trivial.
We recognize that there are no trivial occurrences in life if we get the right focus on them.
Getting distracted by trifles is the easiest thing in the world… Focus on your main duty
When you make a to-do list, you should also make a to-not-do list. Warren Buffet was asked about the secret to success, and he said that it was saying no to almost everything. Some of those little tasks won't matter as long as you get the big tasks done.
I believe that all wisdom consists in caring immensely for a few right things, and not caring a straw about the rest.
The vast majority of things are distractions, and very few really matter to your success.
It is my observation that 98% of the people are spending 98% of their time focusing on the 98% of things that don't matter. Stopping meditation is one of the easiest, quickest and most powerful forms of meditation. It is virtually effortless and its power relative to the effort is remarkable.
We're also optimistic about the future, but only if we do a few things.And that's a big difference in this campaign between Donald Trump's campaign and mine. And I think that's going to begin to matter a lot more now because there are less people in the race and more time to pay attention to some of that.
Don't let some random comment that you wouldn't have even thought about overshadow something important that you were actually trying to say.
