"First be best, then be very first" is a quote by Grant Tinker that encourages people to focus on quality and quality over hurrying to be the very first to achieve something. The quote recommends that prospering at something by being purposeful, thorough, and committed to being the very best is an exceptional technique than accomplishing something quickly without regard to quality. It indicates that real success comes when one is devoted to excellence and taking the time to make sure that their efforts and work are the best they can be. Hence, the quote acts as a pointer to always strive for quality which being the very first to accomplish something ought to come secondarily to being the very best at it.
