I scanned the room, knowing it couldn't take long to spot Annie, who had chosen to wear a floor-length 1960s muumuu in a deep shade of turquoise that looked, I had to admit, strikingly lovely against her honey-toned skin. Her dark hair was piled on top of her head, giving her a couple extra inches of height, and spiked through with a gold, rhinestone-encrusted chopstick. Or at least I thought it was a chopstick, but who knew what you called the utensil once it pierced a mound of hair. Perhaps just a stick? Regardless, she looked stunning- like a colorful little bird that surprises everyone with its audacity and out-of-place beauty by landing right in the middle of a bustling city sidewalk. . Meg Donohue
About This Quote

When we say that we like something or that we like a person we can be talking about looks, manners, and other things that we think we would like to be like. However, sometimes we can feel that we are not as good as the other people as they have certain qualities. In this quote, the author is recommending to us to look for those things that make us different from other people. If we have those qualities then it will be easy for us to find those things that make us special and unique so that people will realize how good we are and want to spend time with us.
