lazyness

Answer #4

People usually settle for less because to ‘have’ the best often requires effort and more importantly risk. So most people find a happy medium that does not involve risking what they already have…. the result being they become more bitter as time goes on and generally pretty miserable pensioners who wish they had done more with their lives.

Answer #5

some poeple dont think there good enough, others usually are too lazy/afraid to go after it
