Common looking people are the best in the world: that is the reason the Lord makes so many of them.

— Abraham Lincoln

REFLECTION

WHAT THIS MEANS

However you account for why there are so many of them, plain-looking people are most of the world, and being the majority counts in their favour rather than against them. Being unexceptional in appearance or position says nothing whatever about being unimportant. Most of what holds a place together gets done by people nobody would pick out of a crowd.

Notice who keeps things running where you are, and who never gets thanked for it. Say something to one of them this week, specifically rather than generally.
