Excellence is often found in the details, as emphasized by Perry Paxton's quote. By focusing on specifics like shape, size, color, and texture, we can elevate our understanding of quality. This guide explores unnecessary details that may clutter our perceptions and examines what might be missing. Engaging with both concrete and abstract elements enriches our experience. Challenge your observation skills and reflect on how little details in your environment influence your reality. How attentive are you to the details around you?

Something to Ponder… “A mountain is composed of tiny grains of earth. The ocean is made up of tiny drops of water. Even so, life is but an endless series of little details, actions, speeches, and thoughts. And the consequences whether good or bad of even the least of them are far-reaching.” -Unknown

CLOSE YOUR EYES- raise your hand if you know the answer. • What does the sign say that is above my doorway? • What color is the “What did I Miss” notebook? • What is the color of the carpet? • How many windows are in this room? • What are the colors of the desk chairs? • What am I wearing today? How did you do…?
