Remarkable doesn’t mean famous
Nov 11, 2020
Remarkable is an adjective. It’s how we describe people who are worth noticing because they are uncommon or even, extraordinary.
The character of Sherlock Holmes is remarkable. Bill Gates and his reading habits are remarkable. Tim Ferriss and his ability to learn things fast are remarkable.
These are just a few names of people, whether real or fictional, that is remarkable. People we find interesting, uncommon, and extraordinary. As Chris Guillebeau says,
“they rise above the culture of mediocrity.”
Remarkable doesn’t mean someone is better than someone else. It does mean that someone has done something which has elevated them to a status of interest.
Which is interesting, because any of us can become remarkable. (Learn More)
