Speaking as a native American, I cannot disagree more. The spirit and very origin of our great nation is to never accept the bad with the good, but to doggedly pursue the very best in everything.

(assuming you mean the United States as "our great nation") Our country was founded on compromise. We baked slavery and misogyny into our Constitution. We have been explicitly accepting bad with good since day 1.
one who gives up nothing, loses. That's like saying 'i want to invest in riskless stocks but make huge gains'. you cant be the best at anything if you try and be the best at everything. But really this is a whole other conversation
