The power of the last millimeter

For someone, “Rocky” is a movie about two boxers exchanging punches with an alternating dominance of each. In my head, the movies about Rocky Balboa, the image of Sylvester Stallone and the history of his struggle for the first role are one. For me, Rocky is a hypertrophied illustration of the Force of the Last Millimeter principle.
What’s the point? Most activities require incredible efforts to polish the last millimeter, which separates the result from the goal. The last millimeter is a sign that shows the beliefs, values and personal qualities of a person multiplied by professional experience. It’s pointless to hope that a factory where workers can afford to leave for lunch, without tightening the nut (Because it’s lunchtime. Hello, “AutoZAZ”), will start producing good cars.
If you chose a path that is 100 meters long, then the distance covered by 99 isn’t a victory. As Rocky said: "Everyone will solve the easy tasks; only a handful of people can top themselves."
The last millimeter changes fate. Remember this, taking the challenge and starting the path.
