It's better to be unique than best.

"Trusting your individual uniqueness challenges you to lay yourself open".                                                                                  James Broughton

What sets you apart can sometimes feel like a burden and it's not. And a lot of time, it's what makes you great. so it's always better to be unique than best because best make you number one but unique make you only one. 

This is the story of Gauri Sawant, a transgender champion. She said in one interview the mother is a behavior it does not depend upon gender and I am a mother without a uterus. In the history of India king Shikhandi was the transgender king and rule the provinces but now in a modernized India due to stereotype society acceptance of the transgender mother was the perception of reality. 
She file first petition in the supreme court for the transgenders. Take a unique stand for being a third gender mother and now she is known by name of her daughter Gayatri. People call her mother of Gayatri. Just because of her unique quality now lots of children have shelter to survive under the campaign of 'Aaji ka Ghar'.
Always be a what actually you are and what makes you unique. In a race of being best, we lost our identity. But when you find yourself, you will definitely win.Success is not how high you claim it's about how you make a positive difference in society.
