I wrote about how little things matter Friday. Then I received my weekly newsletter from Vitaliy Katsenelson , CEO of an investment firm who also calls himself “student of life.” He wrote this: Just remember, little things matter; on their own, you may not notice them, but they all add up. Walt Disney once said, “You can feel quality.” Quality is the result of doing all the little things well, and with heart and soul.
