Nothing is ever enough. If the boss gives a two month's bonus, you would think, you deserve more. If you get a 10% increment, you still think, you deserve more.

Hmmm.

I guess, if you have a certain level of expectation..then, it will never be enough. However, if it comes to you as a surprise, then, it'll be enough. No question about it....cuz, you are SURPRISED by it. Never expected it to happen.

Even when the reward is a personal gesture...you tend to have certain level of expectation. But then, when you think about it...it is a personal gesture....it is up to the giver...not something compulsory...the giver certainly doesn't owe you anything!

But still, if you are unaware of such reward and it comes suddenly, you will be delighted to receive. But if you are aware of the reward, but have been playing the guessing game....it can be rather difficult to be happy. After all....we are human being....never contended, never enough.

Grateful, yes. Enough......nope. Sadly, this is the real world. Homosapiens ARE greedy. We want more money, more love, more understanding, more opportunity, more luck, more friends, more, more, more of the good things (of course).
