The quote “How little things can make a big difference” by Malcolm Gladwell in his book The Tipping Point was brought to my attention yesterday.

Are-Can-Have From Pinterest
Do you Pinterest? I am sure you do…everyone is getting into this addictive, but wonderful site. That is where I learned about ARE-CAN-HAVE charts.
