• A PhD. student who published one paper is unhappy because another PhD student published five.

• The PhD student with five papers is unhappy because they have fewer citations than a colleague.

• A PhD. student with an appreciative advisor is unhappy because their research funding is limited.

• The student with less publication pressure is unhappy because they lack access to cutting-edge laboratory equipment.

• The married colleague is unhappy because they earn less than a single colleague.

• The single colleague with the highest salary is unhappy because their nationality doesn’t afford them certain privileges.

• The colleague with the privileged nationality is unhappy because they didn't attend a top-tier university.

• The graduate from the top-tier university is unhappy because they didn't get a job at a prestigious company.

• The student with ample research funding are unhappy because they face immense pressure to publish more.

This is what happens when you get trapped in the infinite rat race. You are never happy. And you will never appreciate or be grateful for the life you have.

You will only be statisfied when you do your best with what you have. Until then, the pursuit of more will always leave you wanting more...
