(14,733 posts)are people who, as you say, WANT it to be the best we can do.
People who want change, who want something better, always fight (and they don't get into stupid semantic arguments over the word 'fight' and ask if you want a physical altercation.) for MORE than they think they can get, on the offchance they might somehow do better.
You will NEVER get more than you ask for, than you work for. If you simply proclaim you've gotten the best you can get, you never will get better, because it's a self-fulfilling prophecy. Fight for far more than you think you can get, be amazed and happy if you do get it, be happy when you get less, but more than you thought you could, and continue to push for more if all you get is what others said was 'all you could get'. Progress never comes through complacency.
