Ordinary Paper

An English artist named William Wolcott went to New York in 1924 to record his impressions of that fascinating city. One morning he was visiting the office of a former colleague when the urge to sketch came over him. Seeing some paper on his friend’s desk, he asked, “May I have that?” His friend answered, “That’s not sketching paper. That’s ordinary wrapping paper.”

Not wanting to lose the spark of inspiration, Wolcott took the wrapping paper and said, “Nothing is ordinary if you know how to use it.” On that ordinary paper, Wolcott made two sketches. Later that same year, one of those same sketches sold for $500 and the other for $1000, quite a sum of 1924.

People under the influence of an empowering person are like “ordinary paper” in the hands of a talented artist. No matter what they’re made of, they can become treasures.

As we march toward the last day of the school year, I encourage you to reflect on the treasures you have developed this year and those still in the development process.

Have a great day!
