Hmm the maximization of potential never ends.
Man's potential is almost close to that of God's; limitless.

The chase never ends, contentment never comes; in that sense.

Today, i started thinking what makes a man great?
What makes a man succeed?

For some people, it is really the drive and hunger they have for success.
Even missionaries have that drive and hunger to spread the word.
So the question is, what if you don't have a drive and hunger for anything?
Surely there must be something right?
How to discover what it is?

OR what happens if its something that you cannot reach? Thus you give up?
It is a predicament.
I talk about this, because i see the drive in people around me, in all walks of life, in various circumstances, and i began to wonder whether it really makes a difference?

Michael talked about the difference between a 1000CC car and a 1600CC car...
but it is also true we can overclock a 1000CC car....
So where lies the difference?
I was exploring and discussing success the other day, its definitely not about brains; we kinda put it to the dice that God throws us.
Not about motivation or drive, but basically based on the concept that God blesses you as you follow Him.

The problem with that, is that it might be too old a theory to hold true in today's society.
It might be a rationalizaton of God's plan, but it seems true in the modern context.
Its really a gamble at the end of the day.

As a christian, not just bound by my beliefs, but because of my trust and faith in God, I must believe that the gamble we take is the right path to take, that God never shortchanges us even as we follow his plan for us; that his plan is the best for us, and we should take it even against our own logical reasoning.

Life has just too many questions, I keep trying to rationalize thing to unravel them and make good solutions for myself, but it is obvious it is a dead-end.
So much for such a path of thought.

I wish a Philospher's job was still available.
