Summary in Marathi


“Be The Best” ही कविता डग्लस मॅलॉक यांनी लिहिली आहे. ही कविता आपल्याला शिकवते की आपण कोणतेही कार्य करत असलो तरी त्यात सर्वोत्तम होण्याचा प्रयत्न केला पाहिजे. मोठे किंवा लहान असणे महत्त्वाचे नाही, तर आपले कार्य योग्य प्रकारे पार पाडणे महत्त्वाचे आहे.

कवी मोठ्या आणि छोट्या गोष्टींची तुलना करतो. उदाहरणार्थ, उंच पाइन झाड आणि एक छोटे झुडूप, मोठी मासळी (मस्की) आणि एक छोटी मासळी (बास), तसेच रस्ता आणि एक साधा पायवाट. तो सांगतो की जरी आपण मोठे किंवा प्रसिद्ध नसू, तरीही आपण आपले कार्य उत्कृष्ट पद्धतीने करायला हवे.

कवी असेही म्हणतो की सर्व जण कप्तान होऊ शकत नाहीत, काही जण क्रू (नाविक) देखील असले पाहिजेत, कारण दोन्ही आवश्यक आहेत. यश हे आपल्या पदावर नाही, तर आपण दिलेल्या मेहनतीवर अवलंबून असते. म्हणून, आपण जे काही करतो, ते मनापासून आणि उत्तम प्रकारे करावे.

Summary in English


The poem “Be The Best” by Douglas Malloch conveys a powerful message about self-acceptance and doing one’s best in life, regardless of one’s role or position. The poet encourages readers to embrace their individuality and excel in whatever role they play.

The poet uses various comparisons to explain that not everyone can be the greatest or the most important, but everyone can be valuable in their own way. He says that if one cannot be a tall pine tree on a hill, one should be a small scrub in the valley. Similarly, if someone cannot be a big muskie fish, they should still be the best bass in the lake.

He further explains that not everyone can be a leader (captain); some people must be followers (crew), and that is perfectly fine. Every role in life has significance, whether it is big or small. The poet motivates us to focus on the task at hand and to do it with full dedication and sincerity.

In the last stanza, the poet emphasizes that success is not determined by size or position but by how well we perform our duties. Even if someone cannot be a highway, they can still be a trail. Even if they cannot be the sun, they can shine like a star.

The central message of the poem is that one should always strive to be the best version of themselves, no matter how big or small their role in life is. The poet inspires us to work hard, stay positive, and take pride in what we do, as every contribution matters.

Summary in Hindi


कविता “Be The Best” को डगलस मॉलोक ने लिखा है। यह कविता हमें सिखाती है कि हमें हमेशा अपने काम को पूरी लगन और मेहनत से करना चाहिए, चाहे वह छोटा हो या बड़ा।

कवि हमें बताता है कि हर कोई एक ऊँचा देवदार का पेड़ नहीं बन सकता, लेकिन हम एक अच्छा झाड़ी बन सकते हैं। इसी तरह, अगर हम बड़ी मछली (मस्की) नहीं बन सकते, तो हमें एक अच्छी छोटी मछली (बास) बनना चाहिए। वह यह भी कहता है कि हर कोई कप्तान नहीं बन सकता, कुछ लोगों को नाविक (क्रू) भी बनना पड़ता है, लेकिन दोनों ही महत्वपूर्ण होते हैं।

कवि यह संदेश देता है कि हमारा कद या हमारी स्थिति मायने नहीं रखती, बल्कि हमारा काम कैसे किया जाता है, यह मायने रखता है। अगर हम सूरज नहीं बन सकते, तो हमें एक चमकता हुआ तारा बनना चाहिए। इसलिए, हमें जो भी काम मिले, उसे पूरी ईमानदारी और मेहनत से करना चाहिए।
