To Be The Best

Have you ever felt like you're never good enough? 

Or maybe just good, never the best in something? 

For me, I have felt this way plenty in my life.

A Jack. Of all trades. ;D

Sometimes, I like to think I'm jack of all trades but never the best in anything. Mediocre is something that I constantly describe myself as. I'm able to do many things well, but not be the best in it. I don't have anything that makes me stand out or make people turn their heads and take a second glance. And I'm beginning to realize this even more as I go through teenage-hood and soon, adulthood. You might think, "Hey, at least you're good in so many things. I can't even bloody do shit! I suck in everything!" But no. It isn't. Do you wanna know why? Because in this fucking retarded society and human caste system we have everywhere. Being good is NEVER enough. Really. NEVER. And I fucking mean it. You need to be the best lest you get left behind and forgotten. In Chinese, we have a saying - “一山比一山高” This literally translate to - "One mountain, is always higher than another." So my question is, who in the hell is Mount Everest?

This is why competition exists, wanting to be the best in everything or one thing that you feel most passionate about. And to be honest, I like being the top. I don't like the feeling of being beaten or climbed upon. But why? What happens if everybody is the same and nobody is better than anybody? Could competition be the meaning of life...? Maybe that's why we have natural selection. When some of us don't make the cut or don't have that particular X-Factor, or even when we don't excel or don't have a particular trait that makes us stand out. We just rot. And die. Our existence serves no purpose and we just simply vanish off the face of the Earth and no one would care or bother. 

Then I question myself, what if you're already the best? Then what? What happens next after you climb to the top of the food chain and nobody can beat you anymore? I have so many questions yet with no answers to my curiosity. Being the best makes you what - A king? I admire those who are above me, in terms of almost everything. To be the best isn't an easy task. For you need to be either one - a born genius with everything or two - extremely diligent in almost everything.

In our entire lives, I believe you need 7 Things to be the Best. To be the center piece of the entire display shelf. To be the crème de la crème or so you would put it. The following list below will help you to "unlock the truth behind being perfect". Pfft, I laugh for it is simply ridiculous at so many things we need to be the best. Life is never fair is it?

Being pretty?

1. Beauty

More often than we'd like to admit, ALL of us like pretty things. We admire, worship and praise things which are beautiful in all forms. Some people say beauty is skin deep. Well, wake up honey. Don't trust those lies. Truth be told, they're probably the ones that believe the most in how beauty is truely the one thing that rules all. I know this sounds really cynical but hey, for you my dear reader, you like pretty girls and handsome guys too right? Both men and women with good looks and sexy bodies. And woah, I'm not judging you, we're all only humans after all right? Don't live in self-denial that you think because a person isn't pretty you still like them. Deep in your heart you know you want better. You want MORE. Greedy now aren't we? Well, rest assured, it's not something new and it certainly is perfectly normal.

Besides, this is why some people turn to plastic surgery. Why does plastic surgery exist? Initially it was meant to help people lead better lives. To remove the plague that tortures them so. To be able to live comfortably if you have disfigurements or medical conditions that taunts you from within. But now, plastic surgery has turned into a tool of vanity. Where people of all ages turn to it for help to be beautiful and pretty and all things good in order to be complimented.

Personally, I'm not a Madonna alright. And I'm not being a sour puss but I'm just simply stating mere facts that in life, beauty is essential to leading a good life. But deep in my heart, I really envy people who are pretty because I myself am not the best in this criteria. So I sigh, for a I am not photogenic, I am not pretty. I am nothing here. It hurts my self-esteem ya? I will never be pretty and it pains me so.

Anyway, I've seen it alright. Pretty people gain much more than you think. People blessed with godlike looks are truly blessed. Oh, before I forget, just let it stay sane to you that beauty is in the eye of the beholder for those of you who still think beauty is nothing compared to the heart. (Though you should really look at the big picture... Just sayin'.) Being beautiful is not a sin, but it does help you get places yeah? Almost instantaneously, you're popular, which leads us to our next step to being the best.

Hey now, you're an all star, get your game on, hey.

2. Fame

To be exceptionally popular is one of the things most people deny is a good thing because people get jealous. But y'know, to be beautiful gains you instant fame. 'Nuff said. One more step to your ultimate triumph. Fame comes to people who are beautiful in all ways and haters gonna hate cos they're just not good enough. They're jealous, overwhelmed by emotions that terrorize them and intend to persuade them into thinking you're horrible because you're better than them in terms of looks and because you stole the eyes of somebody close to them.

Have no fear though. If you have fame, next comes power.

As much power as Bubbles on a pogo stick powerful!

3. Power

Why is fame linked with power you ask? Well let me tell you why. With fame comes supporters. Supporters are equivalent to an army. An army has a commander. That commander is you. And as a commander, you have the power to have everyone at your mercy since your army is defending you. So as long as you stay famous, not many are able to touch you physically. Emotionally however is another story but with so much power, what can you not do? In fact, nobody can tell you what to do since you're the one in charge. 

But y'know what, power can come in the form of many things. From having influence, to being the heir of a throne and to having the ability to do things others can't. Power is like strength. Take the Hulk for example. He's buff, big and fucking able to defeat an army and even a fucking god. Bravo to the hulk. So my opinion is that power is just being able to have the strength to do whatever you want.

Use power wisely though, for you influence many and being powerful does not entail being a douchebag.

"Shut up, I have power. You can't tell me what to do."

Hahaha, I'm kidding. Do what you want. So as long as it doesn't bother me, I'm entirely fine with it. But take care not to anger your supporters for they are one of the main reasons you are in power.

Moving on, what does power give you? It gives you your damned money that's what, which leads us to our next step...

A treasure chest... Perhaps. It is filled with your fortune?

4. Wealth

Oh, you might think money doesn't mean a thing in our petty world but Earth to you my friend. Money makes the fucking world go around. Where does evil come from? From greed. Greed of everything good. And what makes you survive? What? Food and water? Well, you need money for that shit right? EVERYTHING IS MONEY. EVERYTHING. My goodness. With an excessive, disgusting amount of money... So many things are available and possible at your hands.

You might think I'm being a sucker for money and I'll do anything for it but really who are we kidding here. Money is basically the epitome of everything we hold dear. Everybody loves money okay. If you gain a little, you're happy. If you gain A LOT, you're on Cloud 9. I'm not going to explain more about wealth because simply putting it, if you don't like money and if you don't like being rich, you're a fucking idiot that's what. Sorry to break it to you sugar, but money is one of the things you need to have in order to be perfect in the eyes of us humans.

Thus, money is wonderful. But what's even better than money...? What does money not give you? Simple, being healthy and normal. Up next, we have one of the best things that ever happened to us.

Get all the right grub you need to stay healthy ya?

5. Health

Gamers know this as HP. 

Without HP, you can't even walk. 

Without HP, you aren't able to do shit. 

And you know what? 

This fucking applies to real life too.

Being healthy and normal is a magnificent thing and you shouldn't take it for granted. In a world like ours which is tormented by illnesses and painful. Oh painful things... We need to be careful with our fragile and weak bodies. Take care of ourselves. For if we are to succumb to illness, we can no longer do the things we want to do as our body deteriorates into nothingness.

So to be honest, first and foremost. You need to be healthy. You need to be able to have life in you. Without life you are dead. LITERALLY. You need to thankful if you're a healthy person really. Thank your parents. Thank God for all I care. Just be glad you aren't diseased and you should be alright to go. Stay healthy with your mind, body and soul okay?

It's crucial to succeed in perfectness. Which brings us to being... Smart with so much on your list already.

To be intelligent is to use both sides of your brain to it's fullest extent.

6. Intellect
Have a brain for Christ sake. You'll need it to stay on top of everyone else. With a brain that is utilized well, it may have the potential to conquer the world. But you gotta use both sides. BOTH. This is important.

Both brains hold different types of information and retain memories. Memories that are necessary to be an intelligent person and not fall for trickery or even lies. Memories that help you recall what's right, wrong and even help you conquer that stupid maths exam. Ahaha. Being smart really does help with everything so this is really good for being perfect.

I'm sorry my descriptions are getting shorter. It's about 2:07am and I'm shivering from hunger pangs. I'll edit this more if I have time. (Which I'll probably procrastinate and shit happens then.)

Last but not least... To live a life to it's best and to perfection... You need...

7. People Who Give a Damn

Doesn't matter who.

Doesn't matter what.

Doesn't matter when. 

Doesn't matter where.

Doesn't matter why.

Doesn't matter how. 

 

If people give a damn about you, you are downright a lucky bastard or bitch. This means they care for you. And not in a hi-bye kind of way. I mean actual love and kindness and all things good. They want the best for you. No matter how ugly, how weak and how unruly you are. They will care for you.  Whenever you're feeling down, whenever you're not the best. These people are here for you. My advice is for you to choose the people you stay with very wisely for the ones closest to you might be you downfall as well. Nevertheless, you definitely need support on your journey to become the best.

 

 

Godspeed and I hope you enjoyed this little post of mine that dictates life... In my eyes.

the bear cub sighs a little. the bear cub stands up from the rock it was seated upon and walks towards the twilight, captivated by the beauty of it all.
