		<description>Listen up, 

Rather, since this is written and therefore it would be impossible to use your auditory senses to interpret what I'm about to say just read this carefully. 

The guy and his quote (I won't even pay him the respect of writing his name or reproducing his words)are worth less to me and the rest of humanity than the vial faeces that he most probably has to muscle out of his constricted, toxic, wrotting colon on route towards his hemorrhoid infested rectum (regularity of this barbarity of a defecation: once every two weeks). 

Being the best at whatever it is that makes you get up in the morning is the only thing that matters in life. 

So ask yourself this question, are you the type of person who's here to challenge me and fail anyway in your attempts to stop me from reaching ubiquitous supremacy or are you just going to let me have it and go on living your life enslaved to the ever popular mediocrity and self-delusional state of comfort?</description>

		<description>O Commom Pearsall, your advices are just rubbish. You have to dream big, to achieve big. Always strive for the best and BE BEST. 

" LOOK UP IN LIFE ", try to improve and do better everyday.</description>

		<description>Is it entitled The Last Self Help Book You'll Ever Need because we might as well go ahead and quit on whatever dreams we hold in regard and have yet to achieve? We'll never need help if we don't ever try to do anything for sure. Heck, why not just throw in the towel the whole way quit reading, stop learning and start figuring out a way to kill ourselves?

What kind of advice is that? To give up on hope, to settle for mediocrity, to resist change, to accept- or even believe- that you have no choice as to where you stand in life... ? How can a writer, especially one who has penned a book, believe in such things? Has the author's life been so uniquely blessed that everything he has ever achieved he has accomplished on his very first try?

Half of success in life, I believe, is just showing up, the other side is continually beating on the doors we find closed to us. I accept that we all have limitations, they are the limits we set for ourselves.

The author either has a very twisted sense of humor or just might be trying to weed out further competition in his life by convincing us all to accept that change and success-however defined- are predetermined for the lucky few.

Ridiculous. Hard work makes it's own luck and success should never be determined by anything more than what satisfies the individual's soul without significant expense to others well beings. In my opinion...</description>

		<description>Everything is relative. Trying to be the best at anything is meaningless. As soon as the best is identified someone or something else pops up that is better. The real goal in life, in my opinion, is to try to be a tiny bit better each day. It adds up!</description>

		<description>You know, Bob, I tend to agree with this guy.  
 
Not that one shouldn't strive always to improve, both on one's native skills, and by adding / developing new ones, but the end statement, about not linking personal success to others' failures, is spot on.
 
OK, now that I'm two weeks late responding, I'll dovetail with Bruce's comment and say I most agree with SpongeBob and BlyBob.  

It's interesting to note the degree of competitiveness inherent in Jim's, Steve's, and Jeff's posts. 

Seems to make the point, that while some are more naturally comfortable with overt competition, for the majority, a more invert competition is the ultimate focus, and may help to diffuse discomfort associated with the perception that there can be only one "winner."

Sounds like we've got at least two different markets here.

		<description>Bob,

I believe that being number one at something, is relative, and fleeting.

Relative in the sense that it only matters at the moment, when comparing to your self-establised baseline.

Fleeting in that it does not last...  There will always be somebody nipping at your heels hoping to overcome your success.  And they will over time, depending on your baseline, right?

So, what are we really talking about here?

How we evaluate our own success?  Perhaps...
