[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Strivers" are motivated by getting ahead of others. Anyone who thinks this way, that they actually can be "ahead" of other people, is a crap person. [/quote] Wrong. Strivers are looking to improve their own situation, irrespective of others. [/quote] How do you improve your situation "irrespective of others"? We live in a society where everything is relative -- whether we are conscious of it or not. If you are in DC and you are "striving," it's not irrespective of others. [/quote] You obviously were born wealthy or UMC. If you were born poor or LMC, you want to get out of that life, period, not because you want to eclipse anyone else. You just want to not be poor and without opportunities as an absolute. Maybe that's not what most people have in mind when they think striver, but that's what it is. And it is synonymous with the American dream. [/quote]
