a visitor once told Michelangelo,"I cant see that u have made any progress since I was here the last time."
Michelangelo answered,"Oh,yes,i hv made much progress.look carefully and you will see that i hv retouched this part and polished that part.see i hv worked on this part,and have softened lines here."
"Yes",said the visitor,"but those are all trifles."
"That may be",replied michelangelo,"But trifles make perfection and perfection is no trifle."

The details do make all the difference. Whenever I was assigned a book in class I was surprised that people skimmed or skipped pages just to get the reading done quickly. When schools assign large amounts of reading for a short period of time, it's hard to see the details that really make up a piece of literature. Still, I read the books word for word and I think that is why I understood more than my classmates. If the writer is good, every piece of the page will be meaningful and important to the story.

This is just a great example of how it's the little things that count. Every little thing can make a difference.
