THERE are a lot of quotes that can help push us to do better. Perhaps there are a million quotes that talk about going beyond your comfort zone, reaching for the stars, doing your best. Of those many quotes, a few will connect with you deeply. And those few that you gravitate to the most are the ones you will probably commit to memory.
This is the quotable quote that I always recall when I need a little booster:
“You can decide to be two types of people. You can be ordinary or you can be extraordinary. The only difference between those two words is extra. If you do extra, you can be extraordinary. If you don’t want an extraordinary life, just stop doing extra.” — Steve Harvey
Ordinary vs extraordinary. That one word isn’t only a five-letter difference, but one that creates a huge impact when acted on.
How have you become extraordinary today?
5 Feedbacks on "Become extraordinary"

We become extraordinary not just by doing big life-changing things. It can also be as little as doing something “extra” for another person, like giving marbles to the housekeeper’s son. Just my own little way of somehow being “extra,” at least for him.

that’s right! it’s not always about the BIG stuff we do for others, for the world (world peace…) but the small things that count too. I’ve seen people - in the supermarket, bookstore, etc.- who just pass by something, a hankie, a book, a merchandise, that has dropped to the floor, moving away from it as fast as possible or looking nonchalant about it. this disgusts me so much. i pity those sales girls who keep cleaning up after us. next time, let’s all try to be a little considerate and do a good deed without waiting for return. now that’s extraordinary!

i like that quote,for me it is other way of saying go another mile,or prove your best or do beyond the routine…i knew many ordinary people succeed in their quest for better life because of their extra ordinary effort of performing their duties and rendering services ..i am glad there is place like this…i like to read quotes and it become my guide also of my everyday life,,,i praise the people behind this web…keep up!…. these are ordinary but has an extra help for those who like it.

For me quotes are genuine beacause it can help you become a better person, it can guide in life to become an extra ordinary, ex. helping others in the best that you can without any reward in the future. By being honest to our self first then we can teach others too esp. in our little children as the sayings
” Be honest even if others are not, even if others will not and even if others cannot”. We are ordinary person but we can change the world within our self first. Thanks for the inspiring quotes of your column, i can learn a lot. God speed.
