Being extraordinary means to be ordinary but with a different set of perspectives that stand out of the box. Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny. People who are a little extra are usually the calculated risk-takers who seize every opportunity that comes their way. Extraordinary people are excellent at communication skills, and they understand their abilities and limitations of taking risks. Extraordinary people visualize not what is probable or possible, but rather what is impossible, and by visualizing the impossible, they see as possible. According to Godin, extraordinary people quit often, and quit without guilt, until they commit themselves to beat the right dip for the right answers. 

Many people in this world have stood out and achieved exactly what they wanted. One of those people is Sachin Tendulkar who would hurry to the grounds for matches organized by his coach Ramkant Achrekar. One day he skipped his training to watch another match at Wankhede stadium where his coach also was present. As soon as his coach realized that he skipped his training, he received a stinging slap across his face. According to Sachin, that slap was a life-changing moment for him. It was the day that he began taking his training seriously and worked very hard to get where he is today. Here Sachin took his coach’s slap as an opportunity to understand his mistakes rather than quitting. 

Another story is of a man named N R Narayana Murthy, who was working with Patni Computers. He wanted to create his own company that wrote software codes but had no money to start. He then borrowed ten thousand rupees from his wife after which Murthy and his six colleagues started their company in 1981. This is how Infosys Consultants Pvt Ltd was born. Infosys now is the second-largest Indian IT company, and it’s market capitalization is around $46.52 billion. This is how ordinary people with prodigious perseverance attain their goals.

Anti-LGBT group is a group that is against lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people. According to me it is a crime being a part of the Anti-LGBT group. My question to these people is why? Why do you want to shove down your beliefs about how one should feel and act under the innocent people’s throats? Living in the 21st century, an era where there are self-driven cars, why is the concept of letting people live their life their own terms an impossible task for some. Netherlands was the first country to legalize same sex marriage back in 2001. Since then many other countries like Australia, France, Canada, Belgium, Germany, South Africa etc have legalized same sex marriage. The Anti-LGBT groups are seen bulling the LGBT group verbally, physically and mentally all around the globe especially targeting the black and the Muslim LGBT members. Recently I read a case of a lesbian couple in the USA where they were beaten till they bled while travelling in a train. Having an opinion about certain things whether good or bad is a type of freedom but when misusing that freedom by abusing an audience with polar opinions is pure nasty. There are many organizations that help and support people who are afraid to step out as themselves into the real world like Family Equality Council, The GLBT National Help Centre, Human Rights Campaigns. In India itself it took an enduring amount of time for Section 377 to be eliminated. Atleast there has been some kind of a switch. Since we have a multi religious and highly superstitious society, it will be a slow process of change for our people. There was a period when incest was not frowned upon but the society changed with time. Something accepted in the society today can be fallacious tomorrow.
