Practical Prose of Harry Potter #1

“No two Ollivander wands are the same, just as no two unicorns, dragons, or phoenixes are quite the same. And of course, you never get such good results with another wizard’s wand.” (Harry Potter: The Complete Collection, 85)

Trying to be someone else is a common inclination. While it’s a good idea to integrate the good and refrain from the bad of others, Ollivander reminds us of the harm in disregarding our authentic selves. Stay true to what works for you.
