Just Wondering

Why is that people can't settle being the second best? Why do we always have to be the best? Why do we always have to have the best?

Is it one's drive for excellence? For popularity? An affirmation of one's self-worth? Or, is it rooted in insecurity?

Sometimes, it pays to be second best. One gets to realize that there are more important things in life. Being second best gives one the opportunity to be challenged and to strive for more. It opens the window to other areas that one can excel in.

Besides, one can't be the best in everything. One can't have the best of everything. It is God's way of equalizing nature.

If you are looking for cheap designer bags, I suggest checking out Don Quixote.  You will usually find on the topmost floors on Donki.  I think this is the one in Shinjuku. I am not so sure. You find them arranged like this or inside locked glass cabinets.  I'm sure the artisans who made these bags will tu...
