“You were born as an ordinary human, but make sure you die as an extraordinary human”

“Why live an ordinary life, when you can live an extraordinary one.”

“The extraordinary woman depends on the ordinary woman.”

Context: The extraordinary woman depends on the ordinary woman. It is only when we know what were the conditions of the average woman's life … it is only when we can measure the way of life and the experience of life made possible to the ordinary woman that we can account for the success or failure of the extraordinary woman as a writer.
“The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra.”

“The most ordinary things could be made extraordinary.”
Variant: Even the most ordinary things can be made extraordinary simply by doing it with the right people.
