Number 1 can be a significant number to many. " I want to be first in line!" Finishing first in a race or a golf game can mean the difference in a significant amount of money and status. Second does not cut it even though status comes with it too. The first choice for a job. Being the bride and not the bridesmaid! The best sales record in your division! Winning the beauty talent, best dancer, best singer contest- " the winner is!" Participating is fun but being the winner is even better. "We're number one!" However, Canadians seem okay with not being number 1 in the world. It's okay for us that we place wherever we place. Even number 10 is okay with us or how we rank. Except with the 2010 Olympics- we did get a little assertive! First job, first love, first marriage, first child, first bike, first car, first vacation outside Canada, first house-these images can bring so many memories to us! Then there is the First Birthday of my littlest grandson! He is not my first grandson but like the rest of the grandchilren very precious to our family! Do you have some firsts that are significant to you? Do you care if you are number 1! Have you ever been number 1? How did it feel?
Becoming number one is easier then remaining number one.
