Some people are blinded of the fantasy of being the best. They want to impose their superiority among all people. Being in the top is their most priority.
But is't essential to be on the top? To be the best? Will it kill you if you are not the best?
No matter what happens, no one will be the superior in all human kind. Being the best among all is just a mere fantasy. It is not important to impose your superiority. You don't need to be the best among them all. All you need to do is your directio is right, that you have the map of your journey and be never fooled by your environment. That's all you need to worry about, about the right that you need to take and a journey to be finished.
Being yourself is better than pushing yourself to be your best. I think it's the best self that should be done.
