I am not much of a writer but check this out:

If you want to be extraordinary, You have to stop doing the ordinary.

I believe as Humans, we all are underutilising our senses, Most especially our brain as regards to logical thinking and exploring its capabilities. I am yet to find anyone who can boldly say “I am using my brain to the best of its capabilities”.

The question is how do we know its capabilities? How do you measure it?. Is there a physical yardstick to measure with? are there times we just need to revamp the entire brain or just sectors?

My dad, a farmer, taught me how to take care of my Machete. If I go to the farm with a blunt machete, that means I will require more effort, spend more time in cutting down bushes and end up covering fewer grounds. But when I spend time sharpening my machete, making all its edges as sharp as it can be; I end up using less time and less effort in cutting down the bushes; plus I get to cover more grounds.

The truth is this, we can not fully comprehend how the brain works neither know its full capabilities, but if we spend time sharpening it, we will end up covering more grounds.

People ask what makes Extraordinary people special, the answer lies in the first 5 characters of that word “Extra”. It is not just about buying or acquiring the right machete, it is about putting extra work to make sure that machete is the best machete available among its peer.

We all have brains, but that does not mean we all are smart; you can only be smart if you feed your brain with the right set of information, challenging yourself to be better, spending time developing your skills, having a set plan for the year and the list goes on.

Personally, I hunger for knowledge, how technologies interact, how to solve more complex problems with technology thereby creating a better atmosphere for generations.

There are just lots of things to learn in this world. Do not stop learning. At the right time, all your hard earned skills will pave ways.
