For most purposes, being the best isn't necessary, only being good.

Agreed. You can make it pretty far on effort alone.

Very true. For some pretty far is good enough and it's where they're happy and want to be. However there are others who do strive for #1. I'm not talking about just generally as in how everyone wants to be the best but instead what I mean are those special few who need to take over the world and are meant to. Those people need that extra 7% but most of us don't.
