I want to be the best, says Becks

Washington, June 1 (ANI): David Beckham has revealed that he always wants to be "the best" at everything he does.

The 37-year-old footballer- who has four children, Brooklyn, 13, Romeo, nine, seven-year-old Cruz and 10-month-old Harper with wife Victoria - is determined to do well at whatever he tries his hand to and insists he never takes anything on in a half-hearted fashion.

"Whatever I do, I want to be the best," Contactmusic quoted him as telling Britain's Elle magazine.

"I never do anything half-heartedly. I will continue to work hard and play hard and do everything I can to be successful whatever I do. I want to be the best. I think it's a god way to be," he said.

The Los Angeles Galaxy player and Victoria have an estimated joint fortune of around 290 million-dollar, but the sportsman insists that their vast wealth is not a reason for them to retire, even though doing so would be "easy".

"It would be easy to do that [retire] of course. It would be easy for me to retire or for Victoria to sit at home and be a wife and mum, but we're still young. There's no reason why we shouldn't continue [to work]," he added. (ANI)
