Is the following sentence correct
In an imperfect world with not-so-perfect people and institutions, you have to play your role the best you can, take as many as you can along with you, with empathy and a bit of loving detachment
When best is used as adverb, it is not preceded by the.
Example
He works best in the morning.
So I think the should not be used before best in the above sentence.
Am I right?
