It is true that small things are not small, or that small things cannot be underestimated. Practice has proved that paying attention to small things often leads to completely different results.

Ignoring small things will lead to great disaster. In the 1960s, Soyuz-1, a spacecraft piloted by Vladimir Komarov, a famous astronaut of the former Soviet Union, crashed due to ignoring a decimal point during ground inspection. Can you say that small things are underestimated? If this decimal point is noticed in the ground inspection, will the tragedy of the spacecraft crash happen again?

Ignore small things and suffer a fiasco. Before the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, Japanese spies went to China warships for reconnaissance. At that time, China's warships were superior to Japan in tonnage, quantity and firepower, and the whole country was intoxicated, thinking that the Sino-Japanese naval battle was undoubtedly won by China. But Japanese spies saw shorts and socks hanging on the turret of a China warship. So, I wrote this little thing in intelligence, and analyzed it from this: this is an army with loose discipline and chaotic management, and it will not have strong combat effectiveness. Sure enough, as soon as the naval battle started, the Chinese side was defeated, almost all the troops were wiped out, and advanced warships became Japanese trophies. Can you say that this little thing is underestimated? They just hang their clothes on warships, but they can show the enemy the disadvantages. If they were strict with themselves, maybe things wouldn't be like this!

Ignore small things and lose huge sums of money. 1June 992 1 1 qianjiang evening news reported that a business in Sanmen county, Zhejiang province bought a batch of sheepskins from a fur purchasing station in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia. The quality requirement is: "Each sheepskin is above Siping square feet, without scissors marks." Can be written in the purchase and sale contract: sheepskin "more than four feet, no scissors spots." The period in the sentence is mistakenly written as a pause, so the requirement of sheepskin size is just the opposite of the original intention. As a result, the shrewd seller sold all the inferior sheepskins less than 4 square feet to this company. This is superior and inferior, and the difference is as high as 65438+ 10,000 yuan. If the company hadn't ignored the seemingly small thing of punctuation at that time, it wouldn't have let the seller take advantage. That caused a huge loss of100000 yuan.

A little thing is a note of a beautiful movement, a sentence of a great work, a spray in the boundless waves, and a stone on the high mountain of Wan Ren. It is the key to the success or failure of some major events, so it is said that small things are not correct.

Extended reading article

Composition is the "half of the country" that determines the score of Chinese exam, so the success or failure of composition often determines the success or failure of the whole Chinese exam. So how do you get high marks in the exam composition? I think the following points must be noted.

1, Questions and Intentions All exam compositions must be examined, because candidates should compete fairly in the same environment. Examining the topic is to read and understand all the contents shown in the topic comprehensively and accurately, read out the intention of the proposer, clarify the limitations of examining the topic, and clarify what I should write, how to write it, and to what extent, so as to truly understand it comprehensively, grasp it profoundly, and write a composition without bias or omission. The composition marking of the college entrance examination clearly stipulates that the final score of any problematic paper in the exam generally does not exceed the lowest score of the second type of paper. It can be seen that the accuracy of the exam is the key factor in the success or failure of the composition. The idea is to ask the author to stand at the height of the times, observe and understand life, refine the theme, make the theme reflect the spirit of the times, reflect the times, act on the times, beat the pulse of the times and promote the progress of the times. The "meaning" of the article is actually an idea gradually developed by the author in his life experience, and it is the product of the collision between the author's subjective understanding and objective reality. It reflects the author's ideological level, cognitive level and world outlook, outlook on life and values formed in social life. The reform of composition teaching in recent two years advocates students to be loyal to life and to themselves. Some students ignore the grasp of the ideological tendency of the article, see the problem incompletely and have extreme views. What's more, they doubt the party's leadership and policies because of corruption. Although today's China is politically clear and free of speech, and mistakes will not be investigated for any political issues, as a builder of the future society, we should still have a correct view of right and wrong. This must be noted.

2. Titles and paragraph titles are the eyes of the article, and also the first impression of the marking teacher on the article, especially the writing of self-made topics. The marking teacher attaches great importance to the questions put forward by the candidates. As the saying goes, "plant half the grain well and write half the text well", which shows the importance of the topic. Some candidates write the text first, and then draw up the title. After the article is finished, they may not have time to write the title, or they may forget to make up the title. Although the score stipulates that there is no topic to deduct 2 points, the actual result is far from 2 points. Someone did an experiment in which two groups of teachers graded several well-written compositions according to the two types of reserved titles and hidden titles, and the difference in scores was generally above 5 points. This is because the marking teacher has a psychological distance from the untitled composition and unconsciously reduces the score. As for how to draw up the title, I think we should do the following: ① Be exact. It is in line with the meaning of the article, and it is also the meaning of choosing words and making sentences according to the norms. ② refinement. The number of words in the index question is appropriate. 3 vivid. Refers to the topic can reflect a vitality, readability and interest. 4 novels. Refers to having a new perspective, new ideas and new insights, which can give people a sense of freshness. (5) meaningful. Refers to the inherent meaning. There are many ways to raise a topic, such as using rhetoric, quoting common sayings, using old sayings, borrowing idioms, using buzzwords, skillfully using formulas or symbols from other disciplines, etc. Candidates can use it flexibly according to their own situation. Paragraph: The structure of the first, belly and tail paragraphs is the most taboo in the exam composition. It is best to divide the article into several paragraphs. /kloc-for a composition of less than 0/000 words, I think it is enough to divide it into 5-8 natural paragraphs. Because the more natural the natural section, the more mature and sophisticated you are. In addition, write the first sentence of each paragraph. The first sentence of each paragraph is like a person's eyebrows. The first sentence is well written, "with fine eyes", and the whole paragraph is remarkable.

3. Style and Content There are two types of style requirements for the composition questions in the college entrance examination: one is to stipulate that a certain style must be written, such as "writing an argumentative essay"; The other is to exclude writing a certain style, such as "any other style except poetry". Candidates must write in accordance with the prescribed style. In recent years, there are no restrictions on the style in the composition questions of the college entrance examination, so that candidates can freely choose the style. What we should pay special attention to here is that writing style is not limited to not writing style, but after you choose a writing style, you must write according to the characteristics of this writing style and what you want to write. You can't just write a nondescript "four unlike" article. Content of the article: Never write what you can think of without thinking; Don't write your own thoughts after a little thinking; Take a few minutes to write something unexpected. It is best to set the protagonist as yourself in the narrative and enter the article in the first person, so that the passion of "I" shines in the article, which is sincere and sincere, causing * * *. Argumentative writing should avoid boasting, boasting, and nonsense, avoiding empty arguments, moaning without illness, shouting slogans, making phone calls, and expressing empty determination. Writing can be fictional, and "allowing" to write stories does not mean advocating "writing stories". When writing a story, you should "imagine boldly and justify yourself". You can never get high marks by making it up.

4. The beginning and end of the exam-oriented composition are the cutting edge of the article. All the methods of beginning and ending learned in and out of class can be used in exam-oriented composition. No matter how you start and end, you must go straight to the point at the beginning and point out the main idea at the end. In order to make a good impression on the marking teacher, don't smear both the beginning and the end. There is a saying: a good beginning is half the battle. However, some candidates have made the mistake of "slow entry": some copied all the original materials in large sections; Some expand the original simple raw materials; Some start with materials, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, and take your time. The opening is loose, which takes up a lot of space, but the content behind it is "yet we called and urged a thousand times before she started toward us", and some of them just pass by, with a serious imbalance, so it is difficult for teachers to measure their actual writing level. It makes sense for the ancients to pay attention to "phoenix head", "pig belly" and "leopard tail" when writing articles. But some candidates don't have time to stop writing, or break it in one sentence, or click on a string of ellipsis, so even if you carve a "phoenix head" and grow a "pig belly", it won't be a good article, because without a "leopard tail", you won't get high marks. The marking teacher measures the quality of an article, first of all, looking at the whole. So what the examinee gives the teacher should be a complete composition anyway.

5. Language test The composition language should be standardized and accurate, with individuality and vitality. Don't be a literary white; Don't use dialects and words that others don't understand; Use less long sentences and more short sentences; We can introduce some new words of the times, quote famous sayings and aphorisms, quote the lyrics of popular songs, and quote the oral folk songs of the people, but the guidance must be positive and the language should really light up. It makes sense to say that articles are tools to express one's feelings. Long words, short words. It seems that there should be no limit to the number of words. However, as a special form of composition, examination composition generally requires the number of words in order to achieve certain examination purposes and take into account the examination time and other factors. We must obey the rules. If the minimum number of words is limited, write enough or slightly more than 50- 100 words. The number of words is insufficient. Although the scoring standard stipulates that the number of words is insufficient, every 50 words will be deducted 1 point, but the actual situation is that the lack of words is often considered as the content of the article is thin and the score is difficult to score. Do not exceed the maximum number of words. Otherwise, it gives people a bloated feeling. Moreover, it takes more time to write a long composition and less time to solve the previous questions, which will definitely be affected. If there is no limit to the maximum number of words, it is generally limited to composition paper, that is, writing in the composition paper grid. Don't flatter yourself, beyond the writing style, lest you be ungrateful.

6. Writing and Rolling In recent years, writing has accounted for a considerable score in the composition scoring standard of the college entrance examination. Generally speaking, it is not required to write well, but it is required to write neatly and easily, with clear strokes and no cursive characters. Punctuation writing should also be standardized, especially the format should be correct, and no period, comma, question mark, exclamation mark, pause or semicolon should appear at the beginning of the line; Quotes, brackets and book titles do not appear at the end of the first half of the line. You can write a word after these symbols. Quotes, brackets and the second half of the title of a book do not appear at the beginning of a line, but these symbols can be squeezed at the end of the previous line. Ellipsis and dash occupy two spaces and cannot be broken. If you can't write it, it will be squeezed at the end of a line. As for the size of a composition, just like a person's appearance, impression is very important, especially for the college entrance examination composition. Whether the paper surface is neat or not directly affects the psychology and mood of the marking teacher. The handwriting is neat and the surface is clean, which makes people feel happy at first sight, and the result can be imagined.

7. Check and revise the exam composition questions, just like other questions. After the completion, you need to carefully check whether there are typos, sentences that are not fluent and need to be adjusted. When typos and inappropriate words are found in the review, they must be corrected. For the paragraphs that should be deleted, they should be added, just for the sake of clarity and neatness. The cleanliness of the coil surface should not be affected by the modification.
