28th Feb 2008, I was at a #conference hosted by #Google Bengaluru and met one of the biggest #bloggers of those times, I was super excited to meet him finally, and I explained my idea. After listening to my idea, he said three words: “Don’t do it.” The rest you know is History!! The stubborn me was hell-bent on proving my odyssey right, and after that, I started studying successful people: from #Edison to #Dyson to Richard #Branson, everyone!!

Now, It's my hobby to read about extraordinary minds, and after thorough research, I found that Almost All Extra Ordinary people have the following things in Common.

- went through Dips and lows
- passed through immense Pain & Sorrow
- Controlled their environment
- chose which rules to follow and which rules to unfollow
- Questioned the stupid untold rules of society
- Created their own Paths
- Innovated their way to Success
- had a very high tolerance to pain
- bounced back quickly
- learned from the dips in life
- believed in what they were doing
