i think  it's better  "to  be " in this life.  if you want to see  different culture  in  different countries, so to be a triveller; if you want to have a perfect body , so you need to be a sports fan  first; if you want to enjoy your family life , so  to be  a good father first.

    if we  want to have something   first we need to be somebody  special role. my opinion

It is better to live the life happily.

Hope it helps.
