Are people never satisfied with what they have?(an essay a day~till nov 21) #1 (permalink) Wed Nov 11, 2009 11:55 am   Are people never satisfied with what they have?(an essay a day~till nov 21)
 

Thank you so much for spending your precious time on revising my essay!!

There is an old Chinese saying goes like that "Never satisfied of what you already have." This became a belief to a lot of people, and I am one of them, too. In my point of view, being greedy is the nature of human being, to some extent, which improves our living condition and our own quality.

We always seek for what we do not have. Luxuries are the dreams of most women, just like Mercedes Benz for men. As far as I know, many young girls save several months to just buy a LV bag or a Gucci coat, and a number of men loan to buy a new car, which are all very common in today's society. They all indicate and prove one fact that people keep asking more, even though it is unaffordable or necessary.

Staying interesting and exciting are two essential parts of everyone's daily life. We need some different elements to refresh our lives, otherwise it would be boring and unendurable. That is the reason why so many adventure-lovers will take their lives as risk to climb the highest mountain in the world, swimming across one dangerous canyon, or bunji-jumping from the top of mountains.

Most of us may not only have one boyfriend or girlfriend in our entire lives, and sometimes we dump him or her not due to we do not suit, but for getting bored with one person. It is widely seen that individuals look for some interesting elements of their partners, but not keep talking about those topics that have already discussed hundreds of times.

To sum up, human are born to be greedy, which could be strongly proved from what we do and what we like. Wearing new clothes, doing different types of sports, traveling to different places or dating with different boys or girls are all the evidences of our never-satisfying characters.

There is an old Chinese that goes ; "Never satisfied of what you already have."
This is very true of a lot of people today, and I am one of them.
From my point of view, being greedy is in the nature of human beings, because to some extent it improves our living conditions and the quality of our own lives.

We always seek that which we do not have.

Luxuries are the dreams of most women, just like a Mercedes Benz is for men.
I know, many young girls who will save for several months simply to buy a LV bag or a Gucci coat, and alsoa number of men who have taken out huge loans to buy a new car, which are all very common in today's society.
They all indicate and prove one fact; that people keep asking for more, even though it may be unaffordable or unnecessary.

Staying interesting and exciting are two essential parts of everyone's daily life.
We need different elements to refresh our lives, otherwise it would be boring and unendurable.
That is the reason why so many adventure-lovers will put their lives at risk by trying to climb the highest mountain in the world, swimming across one dangerous canyon, or bungie-jumping from high bridges.

Many of us may not only have one boyfriend or girlfriend in our entire lives, and sometimes we dump him or her, not due to the fact that we are not suited, but from becoming bored with only the one person.
