Can someone explain this qoutation?

Question

It's a funny thing about life,if you refused to accept anything but the best, you very often get it. Could somebody tell what is the meaning of this quote?

Answer 1

Set your goals high, strive for them and you will be there.

Answer 2

Short answer: You want something badly enough, you'll let nothing stop you from getting it.

Long answer: You accept only the best, you deny yourself everything else along the way. You lose sight of everything else leading up to the one and only thing you want, and in the end, all you have IS the best. Some might call that grim and hardcore determiniation to not let anything else stand in your way. Others might call that losing perspective and not seeing the forest for the trees.

It's one of those things that's designed NOT to have a single meaning or definition, but rather one of those things designed to make you THINK about what it means, and in turn, what kind of person you are.

Answer 3

It means what it's saying. If you keep telling yourself, I will only have the best, I will not accept anything below perfect, you will often get the best.

Answer 4

You often get anything but the best. Only accept the best.

Answer 5

You get what you strive for, if you never accept second best then you will always get what satisfies you. (the best).

In reality though, sometimes you have to accept less, that's life.

Answer 6

Have high expectations, and you will receive high results.

Answer 7

If you settle for nothing now, you will settle for nothing later.
Don't drop your standards.

Answer 8

me too is confused....
