Being the best implies being outstanding or simply “Numero Uno” in some particular field of interest. In fact, you can only strive towards being the best in some particular field. In every field, you will always be second to someone. You can never claim yourself to be the best. It feels great when people call you the best and acknowledge your excellence in some field of your interest. One has to work hard to be the best and to be the best, you have to beat the best. You never win the silver but you tend to lose the gold. So, for being the best you have to prove yourself better than all the competition that you have. In the words of Buddha, “The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows.”
