The "I Wills" of
Thoroughness
-Character First! Education
Series 4
1. With your child, make a written
plan for the day. Include information about where, when, and how. At the end of your day
see how well you were able to follow the plan. Discuss how you might have done better.
Point out the things that went smoothly because of your planning.
2. When giving your child a task to
complete, discuss the importance of thoroughness. Talk about the importance of doing a job
well. Talk about how they feel when the task is completed accurately and completely.
3. To help your child develop a
skill for paying attention to detail play the following game. Use picture flash cards,
pictures taken from a magazine, or other resources. Let your child look at the picture for
about five seconds. Turn the picture over, so they can no longer look at the picture. Ask
them to describe the picture to you, giving as much detail as they can. Check to see how
much they did remember.

The Power for True Success
George Washington Carver
As a young boy, George Washington
Carver learned the importance of not neglecting work and study to enjoy his love of nature
and painting. This thoroughness in keeping his priorities straight later paid off when he
became a botanist and chemist.
As the professor of agriculture at
the Tuskegee Institute, he was approached by farmers asking him to help them restore their
depleted fields to productivity. After careful research, he found that peanuts would be
the best crop to plant. However, when the peanuts were harvested, the farmers found there
was no market for their abundant crop. Feeling responsible, Professor Carver determined to
create a market and go all the way in helping the farmers. After only two days, he found
twenty new uses for the peanut. Not satisfied with this, he continued researching
throughout his lifetime, discovering over three hundred uses for the peanut, including
peanut butter!
Achieving True Success
The Price of a Comma
A woman touring Europe cabled her
husband the following message: “Have found wonderful bracelet. Price seventy-five
thousand dollars. May I buy it?”
Her husband immediately responded
with the message: “No, price too high.” However, the telegraph operator missed
one small detail in his transmission – the signal for a comma after the word
“No.”
The wife in Europe received the
reply: “No price too high.” Elated by the good news, she bought the bracelet.
When she returned to the united states and showed the new bracelet to her shocked husband,
he filed a lawsuit against the telegraph company…and won!
From that point on, telegraph rules
required operators to spell out punctuation rather than use symbols. No price was too high
to avoid the same mistake.
