Are you one of those people that like to always be first?

I don't really care to be first but I don't want to be last in line either. I have seen people get mad because they weren't first. I wonder why people want to be first, I know why people don't want to be last. Or at least I think I know why if your the last one you might not get the best if your last. I like being in the middle cause you don't have someone pushing you to hurry up. So do you always like to be first in line? Or are you like me and like to be in the middle?

Its a pleasure to be first in line but i never expected to be always first all the time. It wont hurt at all if i will be second or third or even lower than the top ten for as long as im not the lowest at all.Being first is more like a recognition for being aware and pretty much effecient in everything you do but that doesnt mean the people next to you are not as competent as you. Thats why being next to the top of near the top is also fine with me, specially if i was able to do my job or whatever task it is that i have .Have a great day and im hoping to hear your thoughts with my own topics as well . Godbless and happy mylotting!

Hi Setsuna. I don't mind being the first to do my job the best I can. It is nice to be recognized when we do a good job. But when it comes to just standing in line waiting I don't need to be first, I don't want to be last though. Hope you have a great day!

Hi Allknowing. I guess I am a little shy when it comes to being the first one to announce anything. I like being in the middle.

Hi again free man: well that depends. For me being in the middle is being an average person. I'm not obsessed on being the first one but I think that I won't feel bad if I get the first position on anything. Lol. XD. For me it's positive to be a leader. Thanks for your answer. Have a nice day. ALVARO.

It depends on what you want your first to be. Sometimes I don't like to test the waters, that I let other people go first. That way I will already know what to do and what not to do. But being always first in line. Does not pose a problem if I am last , middle or first.

Hi Aileen. I don't like to test the waters either I like to let people go ahead of me so I know what to expect too. It don't bother me which place in line I am in either. Thanks!

To be honest, I do not really like being the first. The first person tends to be the one that people remember and there are just some things where I do not want to be remembered. Plus, there is a chance that what I may do is a disappointment and thus being first will allow that disappointment to stick with the people who are around a lot of the time. Being the last is not good either. For similar reasons if you think about it. I do like being swiftly in the middle. I can really blend into the crowd. If I am memorable, that's fine but really, it's not going to effect my life. At least I do not have as much pressure on me. Therefore, I can go about what I am doing and do not have as many expectations on me.

Hi Megamatt. I am like you I don't want to disappoint others because they will always remember that. I like being in the middle. That way if I mess up then maybe people won't remember me as much. thanks hope you have a great day!

Hi Jagjit and welcome to my lot. It isn't always good to be first. Whether or not you have money don't sweat it God will always provide as long as we are trying to be good Christians. God takes care of those that will at least try to do their best in this life. We are never in a rush we plan ahead of time that way we are never late. Thanks!

Hi Dawnald. Just life in general was what I was thinking of. Nothing special about the line it is an everyday line in life. Thanks!

Nobody likes to be last in line. that is for sure. Being first in line can be fun but also a big responsibility. Others may be looking to you for guidance. Being first in line gives you the experience early. Sometimes this is a good thing.

Hi Sender. I don't like being the first for that reason I don't want the responsibility for anyone else's lives. I can be a responsible person.

Hi free man: Well honestly, when I was a teen I wanted to be first in everything so I think this may be a part of the development of your self esteem but now I think it's childish, there will be always someone that is beter than you so it's not that important to be the first one. What should matters to all of us is tryting to be better persons day after day. We don't need to make comparisons with other people. Thanks for starting this discussion. Have a nice day. ALVARO

Well, i hate to admit it but yes. Usually during parties, I usually want to be first, especially when there is lechon (Philippine delicacy) because it is my favorite food and it is rarely cooked.And aside from parties, I like to be first because I dont want to wait for so long, I want to be finished right away.

Actually it depends. If its first come first serve basis then I definitely want to be first in the line. Or if I'm in a hurry. But if not then its ok for me no matter where I am in the queue. I'm very patient when it comes to waiting in line.

Hi Juggerogre. I don't get myself in a situation where I have to hurry. I do things according to the time I have. We are never late we are always early by a half hour. We are pretty patient life is too short to be in a hurry. Thanks!

It depends on the situation. In school, everybody wants to be the first. I don't really mind if I will be on the middle or last. There should be always first and there should be on the bottom. Like the alphabet, A is first and Z is the last. If there will be no last, there will be no first.

Hi Animemisa and welcome to my lot. You are so right without the first there would be no last and vice-a-versa without the end there would be no beginning!

As we live in a fast paced world today, I believe it is hard to be the first. We can either be in the middle, or be in the end. But whatever it is, I don't mind. I'm not in a race, I just do whatever it is I could and hope that I gave justice onto it. But if you ask that if anyone prefer to be on top, then I might say that I for one, would be delighted to be there..:)

Hi Riskbreaker and welcome to my lot. So sorry it has taken me this long to respond but life is busy here. I want to be on top of things too in this life. But this life is so fast paced can't all of us be on top. So I am happy with what I have already accomplished in this life. No I was meaning in the front of the line, why is everyone seems to want to be first why can't people be happy with what they have and slow down a bit and enjoy the things in this earth that God has created? I like life on a slower pace seems like we get a more harmonious out come when we slow down.

Hi Lady and welcome to my lot. It depends on what it is on where I don't mind being. I don't like being last but if I am I think I will try harder each time. I take things as a learning tool in life. If I can't be first in a race then I know I have to work harder till I make it to be first. Thanks hope you have a great day!

It depends on the situation if its a bad situation who wants to go first. I don't mind not being 1st in everything although it feels really good to be 1st in a competition. There are some circumstances where I want to be last such as If a person want to kill everyone in a room I definitely want to be last. I don't think in general a person wants to be 1st maybe in a competition or in someones heart we want to be first. Mediocre is also fine but you will never be notice if your only a mediocre. I think I have a balance of everything I'm not always last, I'm not always first and I'm not always in the middle. To sum it I don't mind being first, last or middle as long as I know I did my best and I had been judge fairly.

Hi Bonus and welcome to my lot. I am shy about some things so I don't mind being in the middle. But I was thinking more on the line of standing in line for a store to open or something where you have to stand in line to get something. I don't mind not being noticed when I want someone to notice me they will notice me! I can be out spoken so if I need someones attention I can get it in a positive manner.

It depends on the situation. If I join ma contest or competition of course I want to be the first. What for if that is not my goal. But I don't feel bad or sourgraping if I lose. In other aspect like falling in line I don't care if I will be the first or the last as long as no one inserts.

Hi Dentabz and welcome to my lot. If I am in a competition I want to be first but if I am standing in line waiting on something I don't mind being in the middle. It don't bother me to lose as long as I give it my best.
