Feb 24 2011

“Really, if my teeth are brushed and I’m feeling
semi-confident, I’m ahead of the game.”
- Actress Julia Roberts on her beauty routine. (US Weekly)
prepared; getting work done early
Someone like Julia Roberts is ahead of the game in a
lot of ways. She’s ahead of the game in her career, since she is
one of the most successful and famous American actresses. She’s ahead
of the game when it comes to money, since she’s also one of the
richest actresses. And she’s even ahead of the game in terms of
having a family, being married with twin babies.
But in spite of all her success, Julia is pretty modest. She says she
rarely spends much time on her looks and doesn’t have much of a beauty
routine. For her, just brushing her teeth makes her feel like she is ahead
of the game. It’s easy to be ahead of the game if you have
low standards!
If you are ahead of the game, you’re doing really well at
something. Being ahead of the game at something is like being on
top. You’re so good at whatever game you’re playing, your practically ahead,
or in front of it. You’re so smart and fast, the game has to try to
keep up with you!
Being ahead of the game isn’t always easy. What do you do to stay
ahead of the game at work, school, and in other parts of your
life?
“Max studied hard every night because he wanted to be ahead of the game in class.”
“Sarah baked a cake during the day so she’d be ahead of the game when she had to start preparing for her dinner party.”
