About This Quote

The world is full of ordinary people who are extraordinary because of the way they live their lives. A person’s ability to be extraordinary lies in how they choose to live their everyday life. There are many people who have the desire to do all that is possible for them to be successful. These people are aware that there is no limit to what they can accomplish if they really put their hearts into it.

Some people would like to make the world a better place, but instead of doing things for others, they decide to do things for themselves. They think it’s good enough if they only make the world a little bit better than it was before they started. They might try very hard, but they will never rise above the ordinary.
