Yes, there are. All you need to do is watch out for the trap of being the most brilliant; much like trying to be the most beautiful: there's always someone more beautiful. Want to be the funniest? There's always someone funnier. Think you're the most brilliant? You'll hit a wall when you mest someone smarter. So it goes.

This is so true. I would tweak what you said slightly…what you need to watch out for is “trying” to be the most brilliant, beautiful, funny etc. It’s a recipe for perpetual unhappiness.
