Small Change?

October 15th, 2007
Small change

As a kid I always carried a small magnet with me. It was attached to a long cord and I used it to grab small coins out of fountains or street ventilation shafts.

One day I stopped doing that. Maybe because I figured out that it wasn’t a scalable business. Not many €1000 bills can be found in fountains.

People always tell you to focus.
Focus is important.
Unfortunately nobody is able to tell you WHAT to focus on.

Let me rephrase that: everybody has a different opinion on WHAT you should focus on.

So do you focus on small change?
Would you stop for this coin?

I noticed this 20 euro cent coin this morning on my way to work and stopped to take a photo and pick it up.

What would you have done?
Was that a waste of time?
Should I focus on the bigger picture?

I guess there isn’t one answer to the question.
Focus is important, the big picture is important but the devil is in the details.

This morning I decided that, in this particular case, it was worth my time to stop for 20 cents.
