You won't lag behind, because you'll have the speed. You'll pass the whole gang and you'll soon take the lead. Wherever you fly, you'll be best of the best. Wherever you go, you will top all the rest. Except when you don't. Because, sometimes, you won't.

Dr. Seuss
About This Quote

The first stanza of this poem is all about the power of positive thinking.It says that if you think positively, your repeated thoughts will manifest into reality. The second stanza sets the scene for the rest of the story, by saying that it is up to you whether you will be best of the best or not. If you are not, then the third stanza says it's okay because "you won't lag behind." The fourth and final stanza encourages readers to keep trying, until they finally achieve their goal.
