All the news stations are #1 in town. All the sightseeing tours offer the best views. All the grocery stores have the lowest prices on fruit. All the car dealerships have the lowest financing available anywhere, ever.
Except they don't. Because they can't all be the best or have the lowest prices or offer the best selection. In order for there to be a best, there has to be a worst. And folks in between.
So stop lying.
Are you the best? Or are you the worst? Or are you in between?

I love asking myself this
I love asking myself this question, and then picturing the huge scale of the thousands or millions of people who might engage in the same particular activity.
Even if I am most definitely the best at something out of everyone I know or have ever met, the likelihood of me being the best - or even in the best or worst 1% - in the country, hemisphere, or world is slim.
I like to turn the question around and try to define something I *am* the best at doing. Am I the best songwriter or communications person? Probably not. Am I the best communications person who is also a songwriter? Maybe. Am I the best communications person and songwriter who is also a blogger and a member of a boy/girl harmony duo. Probably, yeah.
As people we're each an aggregate of all sorts of things we're not the best at, but hopefully when they're taken together it turns out we are the best at being ourselves.
