The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra
The little extra is often a deal breaker, it's the last energy that is given out when all odds are against us. Everyday we live the ordinary life and do the ordinary things, what adds magic to the entire process is the little extra. It comes when giving up is no longer an option but striving continually through the struggle until our last energy is expelled. An extraordinary thing comes with a price and that price is a little extra.
There are many individuals who rose above the status quo and broke the normal standard. Edward, a man who invented the electric bulb kept the magic of the little extra until he was able to attain success. A child who is learning how to walk doesn't feel discouraged with the number of times he falls to the ground. He keeps trying the little extra until the very big day when he can walk on his own with no assistance.
There's magic in the little extra and that's why it's never the end until we chose to surrender. In everything we do, put in the little extra, it might just be your point of breakthrough. I have heard of people who sat for the West African examination council (WAEC) more than 5 times. Some still hang on with the hope that someday the examination will turn out bright and it never fails, they make it at the end, sometimes more beautifully than what they expected. Do not give up, always go for the little extra.
