I'm wondering why everyone stresses being "the best" when everyone knows that's pretty much impossible. Me included. It's almost hardwired in me that every breath I take should be toward being better than most other people. In actuality, I should be working toward being happy, even if that means I am less than most people. And by less, I mean, make less money, be less smart, be less attractive, less thoughtful, less "successful". Seriously, how many "successful" people can say they're happy? And if they were, they'd slow down and let some other people catch up, wouldn't they? You can't stay on top forever, even if you're Bill Gates or Oprah.
So, should it be ok to be "average"? What's wrong with that? Of course, being average and unhappy just means you're a loser, but if you manage to be happy with what you have, do you lose your American Society Citizen card?
