Recruitment for the Army candidate and police officers were usually also spiked with frills word "Best" for prospective new recruitment. They are either the owners or the selection officers would select as tightly as possible to get the best candidates.
All just want the best. No one wants to recruit candidates that were of poor quality.
To enroll in the police alone, for example, you must have robust and healthy physical. Not edged minus or have any abnormalities. Teeth should be clean and no holes. There must be no slightest flaw in your body.
And certainly, there should be no shortage on the academic side. All prepared to perfection, only to become soldiers or police.
Then, what we were in mediocre capitalize and qualifications that are not good enough to penetrate these requirements? What about those of us of this, the loser with mediocre grades?
Knowing many of the facts, remind to one's magic figure who is shining brilliantly this season. Much brighter than Pep Guardiola or Luis Enrique though.
He shines among a row of top class coaches in the Premier League such as Arsene Wenger, Louis Van Gaal, to Jose Mourinho (who eventually fired by Chelsea) and Jurgen Klopp. Rome native man, who throughout his coaching career, sticky called a loser.
***
"When it came in 2004 in Chelsea, people have asked why I came. The answer is simple. Chelsea wants to win, and it could not be achieved with Ranieri. Not my fault then, if he (Ranieri) is considered loser at Chelsea."
Fragment of the sentence above is Jose Mourinho greeting in an interview in May 2010 when he was with Internazionale Milano and Claudio Ranieri still gush AS Roma.
There is Nothing to be proud from Ranieri when coached Chelsea other than the fact that he takes the decisions telling to recruit Frank Lampard from West Ham and then over time turn it into the best Chelsea legend. He also is bringing one of the world's best defensive midfielders in the figure of Claude Makelele to Stamford Bridge.
One day after Roman Abramovich coming acquired the club in 2003, the Russian oil King directly negotiated contracts with Sven-Goran Eriksson to lobby the possibility coached Chelsea in the season ahead. With the condition, Ranieri is still entrenched as the official coach of Chelsea.
Not quite up there, the pressure on Ranieri was also too big for a team with a large size of disbursed funds but is still adapting to his new players at the time.
After more than a year engaged in a polemic with the controversy of Eriksson and the issue of sacking, Ranieri took off his post and left it to Jose to continue work that he began, and he woke up with a pretty good foundation of players.
Ranieri left a good foundation to smooth the Jose's steps did long hegemony with Chelsea for several years in the UK.
These are what people forget because people remember the one who carries them become champions, not who is leaving a legacy foundation for the team. Do you remember George Graham or Bruce Rioch when it comes to the history of Arsenal who are already attached to the figure of Arsene Wenger? As simple as that.
And a tale of losers Ranieri continued in some club and a national team that he had coached. Valencia, AC Parma, Juventus, AS Roma, Inter Milan to AS Monaco ever felt the touch of The Tinkerman before he coached the Greek national team right after World Cup 2014.
You know the best "achievements" of Greek with Ranieri? Defeated by the Faroe Islands at home in qualifying for Euro 2016.

Together Leicester City this season, Ranieri is a new figure. A kind of reborn. He discovered a new passion and excitement along with Leicester.
"I like the spirit of the English players, but, you know, I am an Italian. And we (Italians) really like everything about the tactical. "A sentence that gives a clear picture on how Leicester City played very fierce this season.
Leave aside the euphoria of the rebirth of classical formation effectiveness ala 4-4-2 Leicester City, as Atletico Madrid with Diego Simeone have already done well two years ago when penetrating the Champions League final and won La Liga 2013/2014.
What Ranieri offered in Leicester is what we all need as motivation and life story. Ranieri, as a figure, releasing a moment of attachment to Leicester City, is a symbol of the losers who found new excitement and passion after years of living in condescending eyes of many people and the stamp of "Losers" is inherent in the forehead.
Leicester deserves a champion. It is not just because they play a very determinant and so superior. Not only because Jamie Vardy and all his goals. Not only because the Leicester players who ran more and more than other Premier League players.
Leicester deserves a champion, because of Ranieri. Leicester deserves a winner, because we, me and maybe you, find ourselves together Ranieri. Leicester is not a small team and poor. They have a budget of spending bigger than AC Milan though. But Ranieri, making us able to give an appropriateness for Leicester this season that they champion.
Leicester City worthy a champion, in spite of all the statistical data about anything, because Ranieri and his works along with Leicester is a tale of a loser who is poised to be a winner.
He wept with emotion after the 0-2 win at Sunderland (10/4). A tear, which may be, can be translated as a long wait would of acknowledgment. The Decent moment he gained during his career so far.
Ranieri is clearly not Arrigo Sacchi. He will not be able to conjure Leicester City to play as charming as Sacchi and AC Milan in his time. He is also not the kind of revolutionary figures like Johan Cruyff or Joseph Guardiola. He was just a regular coach. His achievement is nil unless achievements as a champion of Ligue 2 with AS Monaco and runner-up in a series of accomplishments would be included.
In the violent running speed of Jamie Vardy, in a spartan motion of N'Golo Kante, behind the stunning long ball of Danny Drinkwater, on the sidelines of dribbling the nimble's ball by Riyad Mahrez, and under the mature command of a captain, Wes Morgan, Leicester City very worthy champion this season.
Not for anything, not for anybody. Only for Claudio Ranieri.
