听力原文:M: I'm sorry I'm late, Cindy.
W: That's all tight, Joe. My house isn't that easy to find. But you know, you wouldn't have gotten lost if you had a "smart" car.
M: A smart car? What's that?
W: I just read a magazine article about some new technology that can make a car smart. One device is a computerized map display and a synthesized voice, you must enter the address where you want to go, and the voice tells you how to get there, street by street.
M: Hey, that's just like my brother. He never gets lost, and he's always telling me the best route. So what else will smart cars be able to do?
W: Well, the article said that they'll be equipped with radar warning systems that will warn drivers if they're getting too close to other cars with an alarm signal, and they'll even put on the brakes if the drivers don't.
M: Tell me, Cindy, will these cars be smart enough to fill themselves up with gas?
W: Not that I know of. Why do you ask?
M: Well, I'm late not because I got lost—I'm late because I ran out of gas on the way over here.

Can we pay too much attention to details? Absolutely. Perfectionists struggle over little things at the cost of something larger they work toward. Charles Garfield, associate professor at the University of California, San Francisco, says that to keep from losing the forest for the trees, we must constantly ask ourselves how the details we're working on fit into the larger picture. If they don't, we should drop them and move on to something else.
Garfield compares this process to his work as a computer scientist at NASA. "The Apollo II moon launch was slightly off-course 90 percent of the time, but a successful landing was still likely because we knew the exact coordinates of our goal. This allowed us to make adjustments as necessary. Knowing where we want to go helps us judge the importance of every task we undertake."
Success is rarely mysterious. We see that by doing little things within our grasp, well, large rewards follow.
