I was clearing out the key dish and came across these paper clips. What struck me was how very different they were. Yet, when most people think of "paper clip," they picture the first one. That is, unless you happen to work with the second or third on a regular basis; I'm sure that, in that case, no other paper clip will do.

Excuse the anthropomophism, but I'm also sure that the second and third paper clip have no illusions of being like the first one. They do the same job, just differently; Under certain circumstances, even better.

This Holiday Season, let's be grateful for what makes us unique. Into the New Year, let's resolve to not worry about how others do what they do, but rather to do what we do in the only way we do it. There are those out there that will appreciate it. Not to mention, you won't get bent out of shape.
