The broken window theory states that one broken window unrepaired sends a wrong signal to everyone who passes by that no one is in charge in the place. The broken window theory tells that the standard is low and everyone should behave the way they like. That’s the wrong approach to life! Fix the little stuff you think won’t matter. Pick the dirt on the ground before it gets out of hand. Wash the dishes left in the sink before the number increases. Pay the little bill before it accumulates. There are broken windows in our professional and personal lives. Fix them now!
Small changes towards the right path matters a lot.
We may not change the world in a day, but we can make a great impact – if we begin to fix the little things daily.
A little drop of water will eventually make a mighty ocean. Rome they say, wasn’t built in a day.
James Clear captures the concept correctly in his book, The Atomic Habits … where he posits that consistent 1% daily improvements compounds into massive life changes.
Start today with little changes and see the massive positive effect in the course of time.
As a published author, I know that writing a book takes a process.
If you want to write a book, you will begin with a word. The word will expand to a sentence. The sentence will later turn to a paragraph. The paragraph expands to a page; and the page turns to a chapter. Several chapters will eventually become the book. Remember, it all started with a word!
Focus and consistency get the right results, no matter how small it started.
The attribute of excellence is not what you achieve in one day, it is what you consistently do daily. Excellence is not a skill you deploy in a job; it is an attitude you live every minute, every hour, and every day.
Speed is never an advantage in the wrong lane. When you find yourself in the wrong lane, the smartest thing to do is to get to the right lane and continue the journey. The time is always right to do the right thing.
Move from good to better, then to best.
