Be Extraordinary

To be extraordinary, that is the dream, or at least that's what it seems to be. Why is it? that's what everybody wants to be? What makes you extraordinary? I've heard that it meant doing something remarkable, iconic and unique. I'm not so sure about that.
To me, it's the simple existence of a being. For many that might be as silly as a grain of sand or a speck of dust in the world. Sometimes I think we all ask ourselves that, but no answer comes to mind, or at least not the one that we want.
