Being the Best
I remember visiting a school in Canada where there was a big poster: “It Is a Crime Not To Excel.” There was another poster of one car overtaking another which said: “Are You in the Passing Lane?” Right from an early age we cultivate this feeling that it is a crime not to be the best.
