It is not possible anyway, but it does not hurt to aim higher, to try for not just good enough, but sometimes also the best. However, I understand what you meant. It seems these days we are all taught the mentality of jumping higher than maybe we actually can and so many suffer because of that.

True. In many cases we have to aim higher and do better. I think we just have to chose more carefully which goals to select as nowadays there are so many choises.
