It's Just Us
The term tests are over! It has been such, and I mean such a hectic week. Accompanied with my exhausting trainings, I was almost tearing my hair out! Sleeping past One o'clock everday, the fatigue was unbearable. How did I fare?
Mathematics - B3 Geography - A1 Chemistry - A1 2 A grades and 1 B grade so far, why am I still not satisfied?
Human nature, probably.
The dissatisfaction even if we accomplish something. The need for more.
For instance, I receive a bicycle as a present. Soon, I decide that a bicycle would not suffice. So I decide to buy a car, an economical one. And later I decide that this car would not do at all, so I set out to purchase luxurious cars.
This unbearable feeling to achieve more. More than what we already have. It definitely serves as a motivation to strive to greater heights. For my case, I will work harder to attain better results. But on a larger context, it can lead to greed. And greed can lead to one's downfall. If I was desperate for Ferraris or Porshes, what would I resort to?
However, we are made this way. There's no way to avoid it. Hence, we must always remind of ourselves that self-improvement is good, but desire for too much improvement is not.
