THERE ARE SOME people in the world that do things a little differently to everyone else.

We all know one: a true original. These people do ordinary things in extraordinary ways and put their own twist on things everyone else takes for granted.

1. A high flying proposal

While most people extend their planning to just phoning her father beforehand, this man went the extra mile. Or actually several miles – up, that is.

2. How to get what you want

Some people have ingenious ways of getting what they want. Thinking outside the box can really help if you want to get your own way.

3. We have an announcement to make

A bun in the oven, get it? Well, it’s one way to make an already special occasion that little bit more memorable.

4. Taking their time

Most of us imagine that success must come in our 20s and 30s, but a lot of famous thinkers, creatives and business people through the years have actually found success in later years.

Peter Roget didn’t invent the thesaurus until he was 73, Charles Darwin didn’t publish his theory of evolution until he was 50 – and the inventor of instant noodles, Momofuku Ando, didn’t dream them up until he was 61. So now! You’ve plenty of time.

6. Hold on for dear life

Open-mouthed scream, terrified expression – everyone gets the same old picture after a go on a theme park ride. Or at least ALMOST everyone. Not these guys.
