C.S. Lewis once wrote, “Good and evil both increase at compound interest. That is why the little decisions you and I make every day are of such infinite importance. The smallest good act today is the capture of a strategic point from which, a few months later, you may be able to go on to victories you never dreamed of.”
That’s good advice. Whether you make widgets or run corporations, never sacrifice the little picture for the big one. If you sacrifice the little picture, you may not have a big one.
