Surely you are unique.

I wonder why many people think of themselves as ordinary, typical, or common. Just because you may not lead a particularly exciting life, that does not mean that you are not typical.

In some regions in Chile, when you want to learn someone’s name, you can ask "¿Cuál es tu gracia?".¿Cuál es tu gracia? can be literally translated into "what is your speciality?" Specifically, "gracia" means "god's blessing" or gift from god.

In Chile, this saying has turned into a common idiom synonymous with "What is your name?" Most people may not be aware of its original meaning when they use it, but when I heard this, it immediately made me think of people who do not feel they are special in any way.

Everyone has something unique about themselves, whether it is personality quirks, talents, or interests. Instead of asking someone just about their name, we should be asking about themselves and what makes them special. We should also be asking this about ourselves. Surely everyone can recognize their own specialties.
