Strive to be more than number one–strive to be the greatest number one.

About This Quote

Greatness is a word that is often thrown around in sports. Athletes compete to be the best in the world and strive to be the greatest number one. However, there’s a problem with this concept: it’s impossible to do both. You can’t be number one and be the greatest.

It’s one or the other. That’s why we should strive to be more than that. We should strive to be the greatest at something—anything, really—and that means we can be great at more than one thing at a time.
