It’s not a big deal to be 10-20 minutes late to meetings, right? Small stuff, ultimately, yeah?

No big thing to forget details? Small stuff, for sure.

Missed deadlines? It’s not a big deal, right? Small stuff.

Bullshit. Utter bullshit.

I know people who live in this mode. Always late, always missing deadlines, always forgetting details.

It’s not small stuff. It’s negligence; bottom line.

If I can’t trust someone to not blow off the “small stuff” how on Urth can I trust them with anything larger, with more intense consequences?

I cannot.

Great things are made of thousands of smaller things, from castles to monuments.

Right-action doesn’t just mean doing right by the big things… it means doing right by ALL things.
