Do you think being the 'best' matters or is it okay to just be acceptable? Does being better than others actually get you any further?

I know people who tried to be better than others and they dug themselves into holes of disease and sickness. It’s better to be equal to others and not better than others. People who believe they are better than others will be made worse than others

You need to be better than others, or you would be incompetent in your profession. Because most people don't have the skill in most professions after all. You do not need to be best, but you will get good at it if you just have the right mentality.

I never gave a shit about being better than others. I don't like people who do or even want to associate with them.
I just wanted to be liked and respected as an equal by people who were cool. I like equality. I don't like authority.

I tdepends on the individual. Some people want to be the best. They are really competitive and are really wrapped too tight. The only one I compete against is me.

being your best matters. being the best doesn't matter most of the time, rarely.

Get into a labor union, and then cry about raising the minimum wage.

Fulfilling your potential is what actually matters.

Being the best isn't necessary.

Doing your best isn’t being the best.
