This is a true story, which comes from the historical facts of King Richard of England. 1485 Defeated in the Battle of Bosworth. Shakespeare's famous sentence: "Horse, horse, one horse loses the country!" " "Let this battle go down in history forever. Let's take a look at this history.
King Richard is ready to fight to the death. The army led by Henry, Earl of Richmond, is coming, and the battle will decide who will rule Britain. On the morning of the battle, Richard sent a groom to prepare his favorite war horse. "Hurry up and nail its horseshoe," the groom said to the blacksmith. "The king wants to take the lead in this matter." "You have to wait," replied the blacksmith. "A few days ago, I nailed horseshoes to all the horses in the king's army. Now I must find more iron pieces. " "I can't wait," shouted the groom impatiently. "The enemy is advancing. We must face the enemy on the battlefield. Use whatever you have. " The blacksmith worked hard, made four horseshoes with an iron bar, flattened them, shaped them, fixed them on the horseshoes, and then began to nail. After nailing three horseshoes, he found that there was no nail to nail the fourth horseshoe. "I need one or two nails," he said. "I need more time to hit two." "I told you I can't wait," said the groom eagerly. "I heard the horn! Can you find something to make do? " "I can nail horseshoes, but they are not as strong as others." "Can you hold on?" Asked the groom. "I think so," replied the blacksmith, "but I'm not sure." "Well, that's it," cried the groom. "Hurry up, or the king will blame us." When the two armies met, King Richard was in front. He took the lead in urging soldiers to face the enemy. "Rush! Go! " He shouted and led the troops to the enemy's defense.
Far away, he saw several of his own soldiers retreating on the other side of the battlefield. If others saw them like this, they would retreat, so Richard rushed to the gap with his horse and whip and called the soldiers to turn and fight. Before halfway, a horseshoe fell, the horse fell to the ground, and Richard was thrown off his horse and fell to the ground. The frightened beast jumped up and ran away before the king grabbed the reins. Richard looked around, his soldiers turned and retreated, and Henry's army surrounded him. He waved his sword in the air. "Horse!" He shouted, "A horse! My country was subverted because of this horse! " He has no horse to ride, his army has fallen apart, and the soldiers have their own problems. In a short time, Henry's soldiers caught Richard and the battle was over. From then on, people say: if you lose a horseshoe nail, you lose a horseshoe; Lost a horseshoe and folded a war horse; Fold a horse and lose a king; Lost a king, also lost a war; Lost a war and lost an empire. All the losses were due to the loss of a horseshoe nail, and the empire perished in the details.
Parents should never neglect to cultivate their children's habit of paying attention to details. Children often ignore details because of inattention. In learning, there will be many knowledge blind spots; In the exam, there will be many negligence points. To cultivate children's attention to detail is not only to be careful in study, but also to strictly abide by national laws and regulations and social ethics in life. Because a mistake in detail will affect others' judgment of you. If you always don't pay attention to details, you will be looked down upon by more people, and even be considered as misbehaving. Cultivating a gentleman is the effort of three generations, not wealth, but cultural accomplishment. When the child naturally conforms to the social norms in details, everyone's evaluation of him is: "This child is very educated." "The child is very gentlemanly." Children will also perform better in such praise, and their character will grow more sound.
This statement has a theoretical basis and is in line with the "broken window theory". Zhan Badou, an American psychologist, once did a "car stealing experiment". He put two identical cars in a middle-class community with a good environment and a dirty slum, and found that the car in the slum was stolen soon, while the other car was still intact a few days later. If the skylight glass of the car in the middle-class community is broken, the car will be stolen in a few hours. Later, on the basis of this experiment, American political scientist Wilson and criminologist Lin Kai put forward the famous "broken window theory": If someone breaks a piece of glass in a building and fails to repair it in time, others may be connived by some hints to break more glass.
A child littering, spitting, not caring for public property and being rude to people are all details in life, because these details will make him despised by civilized society; On the contrary, if we can do every detail well, we will be praised and respected by everyone. All major events are made up of countless small things-details. Only by making the details as perfect as possible can the future results be perfect. A person's life is also made up of countless details, which determine success or failure. Only by doing the details well can we have a more successful career and life.
