I wanted to be a delicatessen.

But I was told,

I couldn't be the best.

Then,chose to be a Chef.

But I was told I couldn't beat the rest.

Then I didn't know what to do.

I just listened to other's

For what they said,

I couldn't be the best.

But now I feel,I can be the best,

Only when I have faith and trust in myself

Now I don't have to listen to other's.

For I know I am not the best,
But will be One Among The Best.
