Mini Saga #98 – Ordinary

It started off as healthy rivalry between co-workers John and Rick. John tried his best for three years but couldn’t win. Finally, he accepted defeat and went back to Rick for advice. Rick smiled, “John, unlike you, I was focusing on what was ‘ordinary’ for me — just my strengths”
