Inspired.

I am just so fascinated by people. Everyone is so unique. Everyone has something different to contribute. I just listened to a commencement speech by Conan O'Brien. It was brilliant. Hilarious. He made the point that each person will always fail at becoming their heroes, but it is this failure that makes us unique. For example, in the 1940s, Jack Benny was a very funny comedian. Johnny Carson wanted to be like Jack Benny. But he couldn't be. His own quirks and personality made him different. And it is that failure to become Jack Benny and his own unique quirks that made him one of the funniest and most successful comedians of his generation. Years later, David Letterman came along and he wanted to be the next Johnny Carson. But he too failed at becoming his hero. And it is his unique quirks and failure to become the next Johnny Carson that made every comedian want to be the next David Lettermen. And so it goes.

Everyone is unique. For a purpose. It is inspiring.

"The Lord did not people the earth with a vibrant orchestra of personalities only to value the piccolos of the world. Every instrument is precious and adds to the complex beauty of the symphony. All of Heavenly Father’s children are different in some degree, yet each has his own beautiful sound that adds depth and richness to the whole." - Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin, April 2008, General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
