Being the best or the worst?

It always feels good when you do things the right way and if you work hard for it. Like you can be really proud of the things that you've done. Unlike when you cheat...you can't be fully proud of it. The guilt would not go away.

Only you as a person can choose to be the best. If you want others to think you are the best, then i think cheating will be one way of doing it.

I believe that most people in the course of their lives, would give the best by themselves. Often, however, the "pursuit of success" involves the efforts that each of us has to face in order to achieve a certain goal. Not everyone can aim. The fact that many people tend to "cheat" to skip the steps of a mandatory path, I find it counterproductive. For example, I am a person who wants to improve day by day, alone with my efforts, not really cheating. Maybe not succeed fully, ok, but the important thing is at least trying.

Sorry but I don't feel the need to be the best. I assume you do? I am fine the way I am. I have many professions, I can do nearly everything if I want, perhaps not perfect but still I am able to do it. I think that already is better as what most people can say and more as fine to me. So the rat race and stress of being the best, stabbing others in the back I leave to the others. I don't need it for my self esteem. Because I do believe that is the reason why some people always want to be the best.
