Good, Better, Best! Recognizing our Enemy called Average

Wise men know that the enemy of the good is the better, and the competition of the better is the best!What does this mean? Oftentimes, we miss and don’t try to look for the better because we are hypnotized and made complacent by having the good. Or, we don’t aim for the best possible outcome because we already improved from good to better.
