He was also word-perfect; he could reel off dozens of tongue-twisters, flawlessly. Apart from an immense personal talent, he must have been a ferocious hard worker. Oscar Peterson, one of the greatest giants Jazz has ever known, was asked to define what he thought genius was. He replied: 1% inspiration, and 99% perspiration.

Actually I was speaking in jest as I am renowned for my sense of levity. In reality I design Paper Clips . I pride myself on being an expert in this field and this has been my passion for nearly 30 years now since I started at Radia Paper Clips which is an Anglo-French Firm. As I'm sure we all know a paper clip is a device, used worldwide to temporally hold papers together. An interesting fact is that the technology for manufacturing paper clips evolved in the early years of the twentieth century, and has remained virtually unchanged since the 1930s ! Paper clips come in several forms, but the one most often seen in common use is called the Gem clip. The origin of the term "Gem" is supposed to have originated from one of our British firms that began exporting them at least 100 years ago , which I find fascinating . The term has come to stand for the iconic shape of the oval-within-oval design. Actually any clip of this shape is called a Gem clip, regardless of the manufacturer. Another type of paper clip sometimes used by archivists and librarians is called the Gothic clip. It has a rectangular shape, with a triangular inner loop. Other distinguishing marks of paper clips are the overall size, the thickness, and quality of the wire, and whether the clip is corrugated or smooth
