A chinese slogan states "Better is the enemy of Good" It took me a minute to even guess what they meant by this or to figure it out. I came to the conclusion that it means "It's OK to be good, but better to be better." In other words, it is like, 'don't settle for mediocrity.' Okay… but what? Are good and better enemies? Like they fight to the bitter end?
We seldom like the word better because we often put it in the context of best. Meanwhile, if we weigh it in the perspective of good, it has an edge. Grammatically, better come after good while best is superlative.
The import of this article is: don't let your good situation forestall you from getting to your better haven. Don't be too confaortable with the good go for better.
