It was an interesting one today, after having a quick talk with Martin about my problems with the technical analysis (which was a half/half pleasant talk), I’ve spent the rest of the day doing a meeting and … nothing. Dolce fare niente … like my italian friend would have said. Has it ever occured to you that when you are walking in a forest, you hear birds sing somewhere close, but not exactly near you ? Ok, then probably as being a child, you wanted to go near the birds, to hear the nice whistles .. but once you get to the place / tree where you think the birds are in … the birds stop singing and you here another whistle somewhere in the place you first left. It’s like chasing wild goose … you always thing it’s a piece of cake but they get away everytime. Some have that as a life, chasing a whistle they hear in another tree and it might sound more appealing. The thing about these persons is though their curiosity keeps their interest alive, they never tend to get what they want, as they never have the patience to harvest it. They get “called” by the sound of a better life, a better person to be with or just a better job … and each time they jump again, as they are never satisfied with what they get. I find myself for a few moments in that place sometimes. It feels a bit like the need to eat, you know you can’t eat that much cause you’ll feel bad, but you still stuff big juicy sandwiches in your mouth …
‘Night people …
Where the birds sing …

Don’t we all feel that way sometimes? If we can control these impulses, I think we will only learn to appreciate more of what we already have. At the same time, they help us build our ambition and strive to become better. That’s my theory, at least; don’t know if it always works…
you can only get more if you ask for more…and people want different things in life! Some are eager to have a high position, which implies respect & appreciation, others want emotional stability, etc.
I think Mirela is right in what she said!!! I don’t think that asking for more should be a crime nor a proof of greediness, but only a sign of self-improvement.
