 <sub><sub>[Thirdman](https://www.pexels.com/photo/men-putting-a-thumbs-up-5684562/)</sub> *** <br>  I’ve always wondered what the world would be like if a thing like satisfaction was easy to come back. And I am not talking about contentment, I mean good old satisfaction. That feeling you get when you are enjoying a good thing and you know you want no more. Yeah, that is exactly what I am talking about. Imagine if we were satisfied with our looks, with the little money we had, with the conditions we were born into. How will the world be? What would it look like and will it be a good or bad thing in the long run?  Well, you see, one of the reasons the world has been able to progress to this point is because there were people that refused to be satisfied. The first man who that discovered some animals could be used as a means of transportation was not satisfied with having to walk for so long just to cover a few miles. And in the same vein, other means of transportation were discovered over the course of the centuries. The majority of man’s greatest achievements were borne out of hunger for more. They were people who were no longer satisfied with the status quo. They knew they could bring about change and they went for it. At the time it might not have made sense, but they knew that what was on their mind would change history. And they went for it, with nothing but their hunger to motivate them.  <sub><sub>[Ihsan Adityawarman](https://www.pexels.com/photo/multicolored-bontainer-2045600/)</sub> So now, you see how important this hunger is? Without it, there is no progress. Without hunger, there will be no growth. Satisfaction brings about comfort, and we know what they said about comfort; it’s the enemy of progress. After all, why would you want to stand out and be the best when you are happy being nondescript and average like everyone else? Why would you want to work harder and get that promotion when you prefer your low rank? Now, note that I don’t want you to confuse satisfaction with contentment. In this context, they are two very different things. Contentment is being happy with the little you have, even if you know there is the possibility of more coming your way, even if more is not coming your way, you choose to be happy with what is available. But satisfaction is different. Most of the time, it’s a pit that never fills up. Most of the time, we get satisfied because we can’t take anymore. It is ingrained in human nature to always ask for more, it’s how we are wired. And when we ask but we don’t get answers, nature will give us a way to answer for ourselves. How then will the world progress without those questions and we asking for more? After all, if the Bright Brothers had not considered flying, maybe they had been satisfied just driving around town in a smoky vehicle, then the world today will not have a plane. The same goes for just about every major invention or discovery known to man.  So, my dear friends, what am I trying to say in earnest? That hunger that is burning inside you, don’t ignore it! That hunger might lead you to the next big thing that would shake the world to its core. But then, beware that this hunger is the good kind, and you are using it for the betterment of the world. Because in as much as such hunger has brought world progress, it has also brought the world terrible wars and a lot of havoc. Keep the fire burning, and continue going after what you want. Learn the value of contentment, and never get too comfortable. Know that there will always be something higher to aspire to, and the more you grow, the more hurdles you would need to overcome. That is just life for you.  <sub><sub>[Prateek Katyal](https://www.pexels.com/photo/black-and-white-laptop-2740956/)</sub> *** <br> <center><sub>Thank you for reading.
