"Need to be" number 1? Sure, I suppose that would be a bad desire to have. It's impossible for anyone, individual or nation, to be the best at everything. But what about "want to be number 1"? I would love to be number 1 at everything. Balanced with some reasonable expectations, I think this is great; in fact, I think we should encourage more people to feel this way.
