The Devil is in the Detail

What ever you do in life is worth doing well. It should be done "thoroughly." I will say it from experience, "details are important." It is "the small details which make things challenging." 

Details, especially in martial arts, are the smaller, important critically so, components of the larger whole. It is one very important reason why it takes such a long time and a great deal of dedication and due diligence to achieve certain levels of proficiency.

Your the owner of a company getting a chance and a very lucrative contract with a very large and prestigious organization. It is time to examine the contract. It might look reasonable at first but with a close scrutiny, the fine print, you can reveal potential issues that could cost time and money. You   would look for snags or issues that would make the deal untenable.

As to martial arts, the attention to the details removes most and sometimes all risk of surprise. Remembering that the devil is in the details is crucial to set the proper foundation that will carry you through a lifetime of practice and training. It also reduces your chance of making mistakes that would, could and do result in damage - physical, legal and psychological.

It must also be reminded that details are necessary and at a point in time the details are to be forgotten - another post to explain this one :-)
