若我们细心观察，不难发现那些在学业、事业或其他方面小有成就的人，无不强调细节的重要性。关注细节不仅需要敏锐的洞察力，还需要持久的耐力。正因为如此，并不是每个人都能做到关注细节。常言道：“细节决定成败。”大学生应深刻领悟这句话的内涵，并在学习和生活中多多关注细微之处。
一、写作思路
首段：这类题目通常会给出一句名人名言，首段可以对此名人名言进行阐述，提出关注细节的重要性。
关键点：解释名人名言，提出文章中心。
中段：通过具体事例来论述细节的重要性。考生可以选择用两个正面例子来阐述，比如苹果公司对细节的关注造就了该公司的卓越;也可以采用一正例一反例的论述方式，反例可以举某个公司因对细节的疏忽而走向衰落的例子。
关键点：选择有说服力的论据来论证观点，事实论据更胜于讲道理。
末段：提出个人观点，说明细节的重要性，要获得成功，注重细节是必不可少的品质。
关键点：强调细节的重要性。

Details Make a Difference
That details make a difference is an old saying known to people all over the world. Details are important to success in business and in every walk of life. Details can make the difference between two things that appear similar, but in reality are very different in quality.
There are several examples which can be cited to illustrate this concept. The first one is the Apple Corporation. The late CEO, Steve Jobs, was addicted to details. He could not stop pushing his staff to pursue perfection in design and production. Due to his focus on details, Apple made great success in the mobile field, producing products that were not only innovative, but also superior. Immediately, others copied these ideas, but they did not take the importance of details into account. Some manufacturers did not follow strict rules in their production and turned a blind eye to tiny problems.Their products looked similar to Apple’s, but closer inspection showed they were not as good. This is just one example that shows the importance of stressing details. Another example is the great masterpiece of Chinese paintings which consists of thousands of skills for mountains, figures or rivers. All of these need focus on details.
From my perspective, it is important to emphasize details in daily life and work. Success can only come by this kind of conscientiousness.

细节决定成败
“细节决定成败”这句古话众所周知。无论是在商业还是其他行业中，细节对于获得成功来说都至关重要。两件东西看似相同，但事实上质量截然不同，这其中可能就是细节的作用。
许多例子可以用来证明这一点。首先以苹果公司为例。已故CEO 史蒂夫·乔布斯沉迷于细节，一直推动他的员工在设计和生产中追求完美。正是由于他对细节的关注，苹果公司在移动通讯领域取得了巨大成功，其打造的产品不仅具有独创性，而且性能优越。很快，其他公司开始抄袭这些想法，但他们没有考虑到细节的重要性。一些制造商在生产中没有遵循严格的规定，对于细微的问题也是视而不见。这些公司的产品和苹果公司的产品很像，然而，仔细一看，就会发现这些产品比不上苹果的产品。这只是体现重视细节的重要性的一个例子。再以中国的一些国画杰作为例，画中包含人物和山水的数千种技法，所有这些均需要注重细节。
在我看来，日常生活和工作中强调细节非常重要。只有如此细致认真，我们才能获得成功。
