The Thinking Behind The Tweet
"If it's worth doing then it's worth doing right." That's what our mothers and fathers taught us. Good advice.
“Go to the bottom of your business if you would climb to the top. Nothing is small which concerns your business. Master every detail.” That's an excerpt from Orison Swett Marden's 1911 classic 'Pushing To The Front'. The devils are in the details...master every detail and remove the devils...more good advice.
"Managers are people who do things right, while leaders are people who do the right thing." Warren Bennis taught that. While we may not agree with drawing that boundary line between leaders and managers, we cannot argue the importance of doing the right things.
So, Do The Right Little Things Right.

In part, inspired by a re-reading of Michael Gerber's 'The E-Myth Revisited'. Pick a demographic - learn its psychographics - and don't forget, we're dealing with people...not statistics.
Of course, there's a softer side and a more-important justification. Only when we understand others are we able to help them. [Without such understanding we ramble along, at best, half-helping ourselves.]

While I have never explored the interior of clouds to discern whether or not they are actually silver...I have marveled at the majesty of rainbows.
[Perhaps that's not too bad for a half-colour-blind guy who studied math and engineering.]
