    Your usefulness may not be the one everyone expects. If that fork is pure silver it would be valuable anyways. If it was the only crooked fork on the royal silverware colection it would be even more.

    Maybe look past of what others expect from you

      This is a great feel good phrase, but in a real world, doesn’t really hold any water. We’re a tribalistic species, and your usefulness to other people is directly related to your value as a person within the tribe. Worthless people are tossed to the side.

      Also, it’s “Your”.
