I mean there is no outside window. My room faces a narrow light well that runs from ground level to the roof. There is not a lot of light or airflow in the light well, but 100 years ago this was an acceptable building method.My room has just been renovated. The colors are pleasant and the fixtures gleaming. There are no bed bugs, roaches or mice in my room...yet. Pest are brought into buildings. They were not created here. My room has a sink, a tiny medicine cabinet, a single bed and two small shelves. I just counted the floor tiles. There are 90, give or take a tile or two. The tiles are one square foot each. It is not a very big room. There is a one inch space under the door for airflow. Mice from a neighbor's room could walk in anytime. They don't need a key. The health department insists door sweeps be installed to prevent mice from vacationing in my room.
In today’s challenging times, bigger isn’t always better. In fact, it’s often the baby steps that put us on the path to delivering a true competitive advantage. The real secret to getting ahead in life and in our careers is to refocus our attention on the small details that, if disregarded, can sabotage a multimillion-dollar ad campaign or undermine your most important relationships. Kaplan Thaler and Koval show how to get more of what you want with surprisingly less than you’d imagine.Written in the same entertaining, story-driven style that made THE POWER OF NICE the go-to book for finishing first, THE POWER OF SMALL demonstrates how all of us can harness the power of small to improve and reinvent our lives. It’s the ultimate guide to shrinking your outlook to broaden your horizons.
