An art student, had finished his first painting. He called his teacher to evaluate it. She approached the teacher and noted the work carefully and concentration for several minutes. So she asked the student to the palette and brushes deftly took a few strokes, and when the teacher returned the painting to the student, it noted that the picture had changed dramatically.
The student was amazed, in his own eyes the work had gone from mediocre to sublime. Almost reverently told the teacher: How is it possible that with a few touches, little details, the picture has changed so much? Is that these little details is the art, "said the teacher.
If we see it slowly, we realize that everything in life is just details. Major events dazzle us so much that sometimes prevent us from seeing the little miracles that surround us every day. A bird sings, a flower that opens, the kiss of a child, are small details that if we keep in our hearts, our lives can do differently.
All our relationships, family or friendship, are based on details. No one expects you to swim in a sea infested with sharks, but they do expect you to call the day of his birthday.
Nobody asks you to climb Mount Everest to prove your skills, but you visit for a few minutes when you know you're sick.
Some people spend their time waiting for an opportunity to demonstrate so heroic love for someone. The sad thing is that while they await this great occasion let in lots of small details.
is sometimes thought that happiness is like the lottery, a miraculous event that the overnight change a miserable life full of happiness, but happiness is actually based on little details that season day day our existence.
We too easily fooled by the apparent simplicity. Do not ever underestimate the power of small things: a flower, a letter, a pat on the shoulder, a word of encouragement or a few lines on a card. They may seem insignificant, but at times more happiness or more pain become the glue that binds the building blocks that we call relationship.
the flower fades, the words may not be important at first, but the memory of both will remain for long in the minds and hearts of those who received them.
What are you waiting? Write that letter, make that visit, pick up the phone. Do it now, while you have the opportunity. Do not miss it for later.
"The real value is in those things done and not left in good intentions"
