To be extraordinary?!

Now that's a big promise, Lior!

Yes it is, I know. I'm not here to waste your time after all.

I love the word "extraordinary". It's an extraordinary word. It's much better than "pompous", "great" or "enormous" – because it gives you a hint about how to be extraordinary.

The word comes from Latin (duh…) – Extra Ordinem – literally it means "outside the normal course of events". Or simply – outside what's normal.

So how can you be extraordinary? Apparently there are two ways.

The common way, and the WTF-why-no-one-told-me-about-this-before way.

I assume you know Dilbert. This popular comics is illustrated by Scott Adams. Since its launch in 1989, over twenty million Dilbert books were sold. Plus, it's been the first website with a daily comic strip. Respect.

Adams isn't just the illustrator behind Dilbert, he also directed the animated TV show and he's currently working on his next ventures.
