Small Things Do Count
Keeping the big picture in mind is an important aspect of life. To have an overall view of the whole is essential
in understanding what life is all about. In doing this we should not forget that the whole is made up of many
smaller parts. As Coleridge put it,
“The universe of which we are conscious is but merely a mass of little things.”
The small things can be just as important as large things:
- The tongue, one of the smallest members of the body, has such great capacity for its size. With a few
words it can exalt or debase.
- A speck of dust in the eye can be disabling.
- The rudder on a ship, although very small in size, has the capacity to change the direction of the world’
s largest ships.
- One extra chromosome, so small it cannot be seen by the natural eye, can change the physical
appearance and the intellectual capacity of a person.
Emerson reminds us, “The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn.”
In life it is the attention to small things that enables us to enjoy the large things.
Do not ever underestimate the value of paying attention to, or focusing on, the small things in life.
Out of that which is small comes that which is great.
A gentleman commented to Michelangelo, “I cannot see that you have made any progress since my last visit.”
“But,” said the sculptor, “I have retouched these parts, polished that, softened that feature, brought out that
muscle, given some expression to the lip, more energy to that limb, etc.” “But they are trifles!” exclaimed the
visitor. “It may be so,” replied the great artist, “but trifles make perfection and perfection is no trifle.”
It Was Only a Shoe box
In 1981 my family and I were living in Jerusalem. A few times each week I would go to the post office.
On one particular day, as I reached the counter, there was a small Shoe box sitting on it. The guard was
trying to find out who owned it. This Shoe box became very important when the owner could not be found.
People were now motivated to get out of the post office in case there was a bomb in it.
Right at that moment two girls came into the post office asking if anybody had seen their Shoe box. After
they took their shoes and left, those remaining in the post office breathed a sigh of relief.
Although it was only a small box, if it had contained a bomb, the damage and destruction it would have
inflicted upon the building and the lives of the people would have been immense, as we have all witnessed
with the Bali bombing of 2002.
The Keys
I was running late for an appointment. I grabbed my keys and my study door locked behind me. I looked at
the keys I held in my hand. They were not the keys to my study. I had picked up another set of keys. I was
locked out of my world, a world that contained thousands of books, hundreds of videos and audios, volumes
of photos, thousands of colour slides from all over the world, filing cabinets full of stories, quotes and
writings, books of personal correspondence and genealogical records and my computer that gave me access
to the world.
In that split second my focus was lost and I had created a problem that I had to solve. I could smash a
window, but the cost to replace it and the mess to clean up was too expensive in both time and money.
I called the locksmith. He arrived and, with a little piece of metal in his hand, manipulated the lock. In a few
minutes the world that I had been shut out of was once again open. Just that little piece of metal, about the
size of a match, was able to provide access to my world.
A philosopher said it this way:
The difficult things in this world must once have been easy; the great things in this world must
once have been small.
Set about difficult things while they are still easy; do great things while they are still small.
The sage never affects to do anything great and, therefore, he is able to achieve his great results.
The tree that needs two arms to span its girth sprang from the tiniest shoot.
Yon tower, nine storeys high, rose from a little mound of earth.
A journey of a thousand miles began with a single step.

PREFACE of 7 Ways to Live Life to the Max
This book has been written to empower people to live with excitement and energy. Its principles are based
on ancient and modern wisdom from a variety of sources.
The author has had a difficult, but interesting and exciting life. He shares his personal experiences with his
readers in the hope that whatever years they have left, it will be the best years of their life. It is about living
to the fullest, not just watching life go by as a spectator or living through the experience of someone else. It
was Helen Keller who said, “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.”
Life is a banquet table. Upon it we find every delicacy imaginable. The lamb, beef, venison, duck, chicken,
turkey and pheasant have been cooked to perfection in sauces that tempt the taste buds (unless you are a
vegetarian). A cornucopia of vegetables, pumpkin, potatoes, carrots, cauliflower, and broccoli are to be found
in a state of perfection. Exotic seasonings, poppy, wild marjoram, thyme, capers, and ginger enhance the
flavor of the dishes. Fruits of every kind, the common and the uncommon, even the exotic quince, currant,
mango, durian and pomegranate grace the table for taste and decoration. For the wine drinkers, there are
reds and whites of every kind and vintage that would make Bacchus jealous.
We have all been summoned to attend the banquet of life. As special guests we arrive in anticipation and
yet, instead of sitting on the gold embossed chairs provided for our comfort, we elect to sit on the floor and
eat the crumbs that fall from the banquet table. Too many of us, for far too long, have sat on the floor eating
the crumbs that fall. This book is about getting up off the floor and feasting at the banquet table before it is
too late. To waste a day would be to waste our inheritance.
The final words of this introduction are left to Henry David Thoreau, who said,
“Oh God! To reach the point of death only to realize you have never lived.”
