Ordinary people

 It’s a fallacy that ordinary people live conventional lives. Life throws monkey wrenches at them, which they use to fix things and loosen the nuts and bolts of others’ lives. They tinker, build and invent. They come to people’s rescue with ability and energy. They come up with the novel solutions— from cupcakes to food drives to elderly care. They’re watching kids’ brains pop in the classroom and putting out fires—the combustible ones and the human ones. They’re putting hair into crowns and spirals and stocking the shelves and taking your crap in the bar. They’re the ones who make the ideas of leaders into something real.
