"I realized that one more time I've been given another chance, and I wanted to make the most of it." What about " the best of me"? My Celine Joined on Fri, Aug 5 2005 Hong Kong Full Member 116

	khoff  +  124497 Sat, 06 Aug 05 02:54 PM to "make the most of" something means to get the greatest possible benefit from it, to use it to the greatest possible advantage. "the best of me" is hard to tell without context - "to get the best of someone" means "to defeat" -- "His exhaustion finally got the best of him and he fell asleep at his desk."  Is this the meaning you are looking for? khoff Joined on Sun, Mar 6 2005 Senior Member 3,272 Native speaker of American English (but not a grammar expert)
