Theme: "FIND YOUR EXTRAORDINARY"

"There isn't any such thing as an ordinary life."
- L.M. Montgomery

You need not be the crown jewel to keep the ocean alive and alluring. Neither do you have to be the beating heart to sustain a human body. You can be any of the other 2,42,500 species that dwell the oceans or any of the numerous cells that aid and abet life. Find your extraordinair`e in every pursuit of life, notwithstanding the stature of your impact.

Come meet the minds who made a difference- not just with might or magnificence, but with small, extraordinary acts that unassumingly changed lives for the better.
