Michelangelo was working on a statue for several days and he was taking a long time to retouch every small detail, which seemed rather insignificant to a bystander. When asked why he did it, Michelangelo replied:"Trifles make perfection and perfection is no trifle."
Most people forget how fast you did a job, but they remember how well it was done.
Matin Luther King, JR. said:"If a man is called to be street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well."
One cannot compromise on quality and service. It is said that Ray Kroc, founder of McDonald's, found a fly during one of his visits at a franchise. Two weeks later the franchisee lost his franchise. Ray said:"You should work for pride and accomplishment. I was, brought up to understand that reward will come later."
The feeling of a job well done is a reward in itself. It is better to do small things well than do many things poorly.
几天来，米开朗基罗一直在钻研一尊雕塑。他用了很长时间去修饰每一个细节，但这些细节对旁观者来说似乎毫无意义。当有人问他为什么要这样做的时候，米开朗基罗说道：“琐事成就完美，追求完美并非琐事。”
大多数人会忘记你的工作速度有多快，但他们会记得你做得有多好。
小马丁·路德·金说：“作为一名清洁工，他就应该像米开朗基罗作画、贝多芬作曲或者莎士比亚写诗那样来清扫街道。他应该做得尽善尽美，以至于所有的人都会停下来赞叹：这里有一位杰出的清洁工，他把工作做得这么完美。”
谁也不会在质量和服务面前妥协。据说麦当劳的创始人雷·科洛克有一次在参观一家法式快餐店时看到一只苍蝇，这家餐厅在两周后就倒闭了。雷说道：“你应当为了荣誉和成就而工作，我从小就明白，回报终究会到来的。”
