The best first programming language is whatever lets you do what your goal is. Whether it be to learn how to code in general or to accomplish a specific task. The best second language is one that lets you fix the mistakes you made when picking your first language.
The trick is to find out what the mistakes are (talking to people is very helpful here) and to find some language that compliments the first one so the mistakes even out. Or at the very least to make you realize how good you have it with whatever language you chose to use if you're still convinced you're a perfect programmer and don't need to learn anymore (though, in this case, there's some other advice that would be more beneficial for you to hear)
