Because I love it.

At the end of the day, I can say to myself, "This is what I have achieved today, and I am proud of it!".

I couldn't say the same if I slack off all day and achieve nothing, can I?


Rich people also do NOT have it better off than anyone else. Human psychology dictates that our needs are constant.

Got rich? You'll want more money.

Laid with a supermodel? You'll want a threesome with supermodels.

Lead a Communist revolution? You'll want to become the new ruler to "guide" the people!

Become a god? You'll want to be an unchallenged god!


Ambition is the only aspect of humanity that does not have a greater challenger. Few people are without ambition, and it is normally due to a series of incidents that have pushd back their ambitions for survival (ie. they do not believe they can ever suceed, and enter depression).


Ideological loyalty is the act of giving your soul to a vague concept, to be manipulated by people smarter than you.
