Success is what drives us forth, its what makes us want to live another day. Modern life is relatively *easy* for most people. Go to the fridge, grab a beer and stuff a pizza into the micro, followed by the classic couch potato phenomenon. Years before the modern era, success was basically about killing a deer or finding some berries to feed yourself and your family with. But today people want more to keep themselves from feeling useless and falling to depression, thus we always strive to do something better, something new and something grand. Modern man is rarely content. Ive even known a man who "had it all": a family, a few million bucks and a damn good job. But he felt he needed to reach further, to take himself away from the routine-like life he led and to make himself feel good. He did make some bad choices, so now he is broke, his wife left him and his buisness went bankrupt, but still he's happy, 'cause now he feels he can actually achieve something more in life, that his life isnt the boring routine it used to be.
