Not being the first and being the first, these two attitudes are relative in many cases, sometimes even intertwined with the same person.

Not being the first, as the name implies, is unwilling or afraid to take the lead or take the lead. This attitude may come from human nature, because people are often afraid and uneasy about the unknown. In addition, it may be because people are worried about failure or criticism, so they choose to wait for others to try first to reduce their own risks.

In some cases, it may be wise not to be the first. For example, in the commercial field, sometimes the market conditions are immature or there are too many competitors. If we act rashly, we may face the risk of failure. In this case, waiting for the opportunity may be a better choice. Besides, in some cultures, people may prefer to keep a low profile and be cautious rather than take risks.

However, in other cases, not being the first may be a negative attitude. When the opportunity comes, if you always wait for others to act first, you are likely to miss the opportunity. In addition, if you are afraid to take the lead just because you are afraid of failure or criticism, then this attitude is likely to limit your personal development and progress.

Dare to be the first, just the opposite. This attitude means being willing or daring to take the lead. This attitude may stem from people's courage, self-confidence or desire for success. In addition, it may also be because people believe in their ability and judgment and think that they can successfully cope with challenges and risks.

In some cases, being the first can be dangerous. For example, a person who acts rashly without adequate preparation may face the risk of failure. Besides, if a person always takes risks, he is likely to be punished by criticism or failure.

However, in other cases, being the first may be a positive attitude. When the opportunity comes, if you can get ahead and succeed, you are likely to get more opportunities and resources. In addition, if we can stimulate the enthusiasm and motivation of others by taking the lead, then this attitude is likely to promote the development and progress of the team.

To sum up, not being the first and being the first are relative attitudes. In different situations, they may have different advantages and disadvantages and applicability. However, if we always choose not to be the first, or always choose to be the first, we are likely to miss the opportunity or face the risk of failure.

Therefore, we need to use these two attitudes flexibly according to the specific situation. Dare to take the lead when taking risks; Keep a low profile and be patient when caution is needed. Only in this way can we better cope with challenges and opportunities.
