Remarkable People
    What makes a person remarkable? The word remarkable means "notably unusual" or "worthy of notice. " A remarkable person, then, is someone who is unusual, who is worthy of our noticing. Of course, being "unusual" or "worthy of notice" does not necessarily mean being famous or well known. Many famous people are not remarkable, and many people who are truly remarkable are not famous.
    These people are remarkable because all of them set difficult goals and then worked hard to achieve them. Perhaps that is the measure of remarkable individuals: people with the courage, strength and perseverance to work—and keep on working—toward something that they believe in. As booker T. Washington once said, " Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed. "
    We can learn a great deal from people we consider to be remarkable. We can be inspired by their work and their way of being because they enable us to see what is possible in one’s life.
