Completely by accident I came across the page of one young man, where he talks about his military friend, whom he considers an extraordinary person. “My friend is an extraordinary person, he knows how to make great jokes,” writes the author of the article. The following is a description of the joke. In the transport, the military man joked with an unfamiliar woman, pulling out his manhood in front of her. The joke was that the dignity he showed was not real, but she didn’t know and fainted. What smart and funny jokes! Young people's vulgarity is off the charts. Plan a joke in advance in a public place, and then admire your extraordinary abilities. People are out of their minds. This military man is a degraded personality and he has nothing to do with eccentricity. In Russian, the word “extraordinary” has always been used in the meaning of “outstanding”; "outstanding". We must call things by their proper names.
Surprisingly, many people around us of this kind call themselves extraordinary people! We observe a special type of consciousness in a society where there is no place for logic. Non-standard pathological behavior and lack of intelligence causes a storm of emotions. Informals pierce their lips, ears, nose, eyebrows, navel, get tattoos on all parts of the body, dress pretentiously in order to stand out from the crowd and attract attention to themselves as an extraordinary person. In ancient times, people hung jewelry on themselves and painted their bodies to scare the enemy or show their high social status. We have not gone very far from ancient man.
Modern society is pursuing false values, forgetting about the spiritual. A person with an extraordinary condition is called extraordinary. This could be a successful businessman, a deputy, an official... It turns out that eccentricity means a certain status, a high position, political power...
Extraordinaryness depends on a person’s abilities that need to be developed. There are several points of view on the problem of developing human abilities.
Science proves that all babies born healthy have approximately the same developmental opportunities, which depend on the social, family environment and upbringing. Some abilities die out without receiving the necessary development. Everything depends on nature and how a person develops his abilities. Inclinations are inherited from parents, and abilities, hobbies, and character develop during life at the basis of inclinations. Growing up, the child recognizes himself as a member of a society in which he is attached to certain values. There are many cases where naturally talented people were unable to realize themselves in life.
We also know many stories of extraordinary people, “self-taught” people, who strive for knowledge and reach great heights. Naturally gifted people, such as M.V. Lomonosov, D.I. Mendeleev, despite life's difficulties and hardships, became great scientists. A passion for reading made I. A. Bunin an excellent writer and poet. The writer Maxim Gorky did not receive a real education either. His thirst for knowledge was quenched independently; he grew up “self-taught.” The hardships in life taught him a good knowledge of life, books gave rise to faith in Man and in his potential.
My fellow countryman, a talented teacher, V.S. Khaustov, who worked at the school in the post-war years, had extraordinary abilities. In his classes, students made models of steam engines, electric motors, yachts, gliders... From a model of a mechanized livestock farm, they moved on to the construction of a real mechanized current. Under the guidance of the teacher, the children assembled transmissions, a cleaning and loading unit, installed triremes, winnowing machines, grain consoles, feed crushers, an engine to drive mechanisms, and a winch for a water pump. Khaustov V.S. is rightly called an extraordinary person. His inventive mind and extraordinary abilities served people well. He lived for others and that says it all.
You cannot subject your thinking to false stereotypes.
Dear reader! Is there an extraordinary person among your friends and acquaintances? How is her relationship with society built? Who do you think deserves the title of “extraordinary personality” today?
- Possessing extraordinary data, we have the opportunity to stand out from the gray mass.
- Originality and informal thinking attract closer attention to a person and his activities.
- Extraordinary actions and thoughts often give impetus not only to personal, but also to social progress.
- Originality in art gives rise to new styles and genres, thereby giving it the opportunity to reach new levels of development.

Manifestations of eccentricity in everyday life
- Unconventional thinking is manifested in creativity: the more unconventional a person thinks, the more vivid his ideas are born.

How to develop originality
The desire for self-realization is one of the main ones among creative and extraordinary people. Most likely, each of us has extraordinary abilities. It’s just that in some people they are deeply hidden, while others were able to examine them, feel them and use them.
- Look for the area that is closest to you, in which you feel a certain giftedness and talent.
- Try to analyze what comes easier to you, what you would do with great pleasure. Maybe you like to crumple paper, like French artist Andrea-Anne Dupuis-Bourret does. Or perhaps you love speed as much as British stuntman and inventor of extraordinary technology Colin Fertz.
- Expand your social circle. Let it include people from whom you can learn a lot, and most importantly, analyze what you could do the same as them, and what is much better, more unusual.
- Constantly work on your imagination and way of thinking, try to generate new ideas. Not forgetting, however, that an unrealized idea is equal to its complete absence.
- Develop critical thinking, look at the world through “different” eyes. Share your observations and ideas with others.

At first glance, all people are similar to each other. But if we communicate with them for some time, we will understand that there are no identical personalities. And there are those among us whose abilities, thoughts and actions are radically different from the rest. Such people are called extraordinary.
An extraordinary person is always a big mystery. The word itself means “outstanding,” “unusual,” “original.” Thus, an extraordinary personality is a person who, with his behavior, appearance or abilities, stands out from the crowd, so to speak, the “gray mass.”
That is, if on the street we see a girl dressed in the style of the 60s or a man who runs a red light, does that mean they are extraordinary people? After all, their appearance and behavior are different from the rest. This is not entirely true. It turns out that extraordinary people have certain qualities. What kind?
First of all – charm, attractiveness, ability to please. Everyone in a group of friends has that person whom everyone listens to attentively, despite the fact that he can talk frankly complete nonsense. All his proposals are unanimously voted in favor. And you look at him, it seems like there is nothing special about this man, but you still listen to him, smiling joyfully. This is charm.
However, it may also happen that too original judgments scare people away, because not everyone is able to perceive an unusual point of view.
How crazy! Many geniuses of past centuries are called extraordinary personalities. Let us remember the famous Dali, Goethe, Freud, Malevich. No one would dare call them people of “average intelligence.”
Very often their way of thinking differs from the standard one acceptable in society. Where would we be without this! Many of them are misunderstood, condemned or criticized. And the rest are recognized as geniuses. Genius or madness? This idea is old, Plato expressed it, but it is impossible to answer this question unequivocally, so everyone remains to their own opinion.
Extraordinary individuals are hardworking. Most of us, having achieved a certain goal, stop there. We have a stable job, family, and a constant circle of friends. Would you like anything else? Yes, but... What if it doesn’t work out, you need to put in so much effort! Extraordinary people are not afraid of work. Behind their originality lie thousands of hours of hard and sometimes boring work.
An extraordinary person is not afraid of other people's opinions and condemnations. “What cat cares what mice say about it,” said Faina Ranevskaya. And she was absolutely right. You shouldn't change just because someone thinks your lifestyle is strange or unusual. People in general are very dependent on public opinion, which is not good.
From all this a logical question follows: is originality an innate quality? Or can and should it be developed somehow?
In order to become an extraordinary person, you need to understand what ability can help you achieve this. Maybe you are a good enough speaker? Or are you excellent at drawing portraits? Or are you the owner of a beautiful voice, but you sing only for yourself because you are embarrassed to show your abilities to others?
Don’t be too self-critical, don’t be afraid to seem funny. It’s better to try and get burned than to spend your whole life thinking about missed opportunities. Feel free to develop your abilities and defend your point of view.
Don't be afraid to go beyond stereotypical thinking, even if everyone is against you. And very soon you will understand how to use your knowledge and capabilities to benefit yourself and other people. This means that for them you will become a leader, an unusual and interesting person.
In a crowd, all people are alike. But it’s worth talking, and an attentive observer will see that this or that is not like the others. An extraordinary person is always a curious phenomenon and a reason to think about the fact that for an individual there are no limits to improvement. This is always a reason to reflect on your own achievements.
Experts in "nothing"
Abilities look impressive, but in themselves they are of little value. The labor market pays for achievements and stability of high results. An extraordinary person is a person who proves every day that more can be done. He proves it with his own example. Donald Trump was once asked if he would hire the winner of a polymath competition. The billionaire answered negatively - after all, such a person knows a little about everything and nothing deeply. Therefore, he has nothing to do every day in business. He can be hired as a consultant for a one-time creative project, but not for long-term work. So an extraordinary person is always narrow specialization. It's always long hours of hard work in a field that most people find boring.
Unglamorous job
Tennis players spend hours practicing movements without the ball. It takes a lot of time, it's not interesting and it's not at all spectacular. Often in the first few years a young tennis player does not participate in tournaments at all. The result is far away, happiness is not close. And in the end - victories in sports and highest achievements. Examples: an extraordinary man or an extraordinary woman, Maria Sharapova. Behind their unconventionality lie thousands of hours of hard and boring work.
Be yourself
An extraordinary person is always a developed system of his own views and sufficient courage to live in accordance with these views, not to be afraid of opinions, not to tremble before condemnation. And, by the way, a truly deep personality will not strive to become extraordinary. It comes naturally. It’s enough just to know your goals and follow your dreams, work every day. Then you will make the world wonder.
Unpleasant, but surmountable
An extraordinary person is always the result of painful experience. People for whom everything is outwardly easy usually know the value of this “ease.” Talents are often associated with or early development or with hard labor. And with many very unpleasant situations when the child feels weak, awkward, stupid. Remember - even in stressful, “ugly” situations, you look much better than you think. Often observers do not even understand the nature of your difficulties. So don't be too hard on yourself. Do you speak English poorly? It's okay if you can't surprise your teacher. Don't be afraid, try, make mistakes, improve. And everything will work out!
To become an unusual person, you don’t need to strive for someone else’s, imposed ideals. Find what you like and become better and better. Sooner or later you will understand how to apply your knowledge to benefit other people. This means you will become unusual and interesting for them. Courage and belief in your dream are most important. An extraordinary person is a passion for improving oneself.
