WHAT IS THE EXTRAORDINARY?

It is to believe, when everyone doubts;
To be cheerful, when everything is boring and difficult;
Smile, when others grumble;
See beauty in spite of mediocrity and ugliness;
To be able to love in a hostile atmosphere;
To hope, when others despair;
To support, instead of living in self-pity;
To be vibrant in a shapeless atmosphere;
To be grateful for what remains,
Instead of bemoaning what is lost.
