In this life we are always longing for something is better than before. If today we have a small car to drive, we will always have in our mind that we will drive a bigger and better car next time. We will never satisfied. There are some people that I heard wanted to let go most of his property and live a decent life. He wanted to involve in charity after that. I did gave my opinion to him but I never let him to take my opinion seriously because I do not want him to blame me after follow my advice. I said to him what is the point for him to let go his car, house etc. Don't he think that by having money and whatever that he already has, he can use it to help the community. Yes by giving his body and soul do help but it is even better if he can help in term of financial, body and soul? I remind him that money is not evil. Human that use it wrongly. I do understand that he kept on asking the question when is enough is enough. He said that everyday he works and works. As for me recently, the quote when is enough is enough really becoming real to me. If you notice, lately I complained about hos bad is Celcom broadband service in my area. So I decided to registered with another broadband provider which is Maxis. Oh my God, it is really fast! But I found out that there is a catch for Maxis. Yes I know that I have to pay RM48 per month, but it is only up to 3g volume. Then I realized that this is not good enough.I need limited usage. See, how I do have that attitude when is enough is really enough...

As far as I’m concerned, its in our minds to decided when enough is enough. For some people, its never really enough, no matter what they have achieved. In the bargain, they lose as lot of personal things but they are ready to sacrifice that. On the other hand, there are people like me to whom, its enough is enough in most cases. Sometimes I feel that I’m too slow and complacent with whatever I’ve achieved but I’m at peace with myself and that is more important to me.

Well your post contains more than one examples which indicate that a person should put full stop to his or her own ambitions. I do agree that when one wish is fulfilled, immediately we grow up with even bigger wish.
I do not think that there is anything wrong with such thing. I feel that a person has to continiously look for higher and higer goals if one wants to do progress in the life. Only thing here is important that one should know one's own limitations and one should know how to live and enjoy living within one's own limitations.

Well I know alot of people who dont know when to say enough is enough.. I am quite lucky I am really happy with my life. I am happily married have two beautiful children and have a lovely home...
I know I am one of very few people that are truly happy with their lives... Although saying that, I wouldnt mind losing a few pounds but apart from that I dont want for much. I have everything that I want for now.
I know what its like to always want better and I didnt like myself when I was outdoing other people. I used to be quite a horrible person and wanted the best of everything and always got it. But since I have had children it has made me learn that I get what I deserve and nothing more.
