“The enemy of the best is the good. If you’re always settling with what’s good, you’ll never be the best”

Jerry Rice

Simplified Meaning:

If you always choose things that are just okay or good enough, you will never reach the highest level of success or greatness. Think about it like this: If a student always does just enough homework to pass, they will never be at the top of the class. In everyday life, it’s like choosing to eat fast food because it’s quick and decent instead of taking time to cook a healthy, delicious meal. The fast food is good, but it’s not the best choice for your health. To really achieve something great, you need to aim higher and not settle for just good enough. So, if you want to be the best at something, try to always strive for excellence instead of stopping at good.
