Two is like #1's inferior twin.
He's kinda that guy who's always referred to as the "brother" or the "other twin". He's is never good enough because he's overshadowed by the number one.
When you win a silver medal, you don't get nearly as much recognition as you deserve. It's all about the gold. Because being #2 in the world is simply not good enough.
We all know about Micheal Phelps. But what would happen if he won eight silver medals instead of gold ones?
Nothing. Nobody would care.
Because people are too obsessive over being first.
My point? Appreciate those who are second. They did a good job too.
