Extraordinary Quotes





"Say it, reader. Say the word 'quest' out loud. It is an extraordinary word, isn't it? So small yet so full of wonder, so full of hope."


- Kate DiCamillo, The Tales of Desperaux




 
                   I was made for another planet altogether. I mistook 
     THe waY.

          Love is the time and space where I give myself the right to be extra-

"Economic recession is a time that differentiates between ordinary and extraordinary firms;
the former will fire while the latter will hire for it has a vision to build a sustainable business empire."


~Anuj Somany
It's okay, guys.
Because if you think about it, everything in the world that is extraordinary 
is really just extra ordinary.
"CLASSES differentiate themselves from MASSES by the yardstick of mental prowess standard than by the monetary power status. A TRUE LEADER hails from the classes and OTHERS belong to the masses."
~Anuj Somany







...where others might slide in and be allowed to be ordinary,
those of us who come in pre-judged are forced to make ourselves
extraordinary.

Take it as a challenge, and break the mold so [those] who come after you
might not have to fight quite so hard to be accepted in the future.

Original Quote:
 
And that is the female engineer's silver lining (as it is for anyone coming into a profession as a minority, be it your ethnicity, gender, or just the college you came from): where others might slide in and be allowed to be ordinary, those of us who come in pre-judged are forced to make ourselves extraordinary. Take it as a challenge, and break the mold so the women who come after you might not have to fight quite so hard to be accepted in the future.

"I need to believe that something extraordinary is possible".

A conjurer gets no credit after he's explained his trick;

AND IF I REVEAL TOO MUCH OF MY METHOD OF WORKING, TO YOU, YOU WILL QUICKLY COME TO REALIZE THAT i AM NO MORE THAN AN ORDINARY PERSON...



 

The word EXTRAORDINARY confuses me.
If you break it up, It is EXTRA, and ORDINARY.
EXTRA ORDINARY.
What does that mean?
Super normal?
Very the same?
Thats what it seems like, right?
However, the dictionary definition says that it is
"Very unusual, or remarkable"
See?
Complete opposites.
I guess this just proves that things aren't always
exactly what they seem. 
So next time you come across something
or someone
that you don't understand,
Look a little closer.
Because, who knows?
You may just find something 
EXTRAORDINARY.
