It has been a while since I did any reading, as in real book reading, not articles over the internet or magazine or newspaper reading. I needed to refresh some books I have read in order to help me with my studies, when I came across this quote from Somerset Maugham :
"It's a funny thing about life; if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it."
How true it is! That is why I never go for second best, or third best. No one and nothing is perfect, but if you demand the best for yourself and everyone else, often than not you will get it. This is tried and tested, especially for me in the last couple of years. It is all in the mind! Only by demanding and expecting the best that one can improve and get the best of what we want, be it in terms of friends, jobs, studies, even relationships!
So if you think you are satisfied with just anything mediocre, chances are that is what you will get! So it is one's choice whether they want the best or anything less!
