Summary

This quote suggests that striving to be the best is not a worthwhile goal. Instead, success should be measured based on personal standards and values, rather than comparing oneself to others. It implies that defining success in one's own terms allows for a more authentic and fulfilling journey, as it aligns with individual aspirations and preferences. It encourages individuals to set their own standards for success, focusing on personal growth and self-improvement rather than external validation.
