I think the point to be taken is: Let go of the ego.  It won't serve you well -- in fact, it will work against you.<p>Therefore, having concern of anyone being 'best' is simply a waste of time.  Besides, 'best' is purely subjective, anyway.  So, a pursuit of finding the 'best' is absurd, and wanting to consider one's self as 'best' is ego (or simply narcissism).  It's also a sign of youth, and is to be expected.
