大学英语作文1700字：你是否同意或不同意以下声明
do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
people are never satisfied with what they have; thay always want something more or something different. write a composition about it.
i think it is probably true that people are never satisfied with what they have. they always want something more or something different from what is theirs. this just seems to be part of our human nature. look at a toddler. give her a toy to play with and she’s happy----until she sees something else. then she wants that other toy to play with. if she and her brother are each given a cookie, she will kook to see whose cookie is bigger. she will protest loudly if she thinks her brother is getting more.
the grass is always greener some where else is an old epression, but it is a good epression of how many of us feel. we are always striving for a better job, a nicer place to live, a fancier car, or more epensive clothes. part of this reaching for more and better is because we care about what other people think and want to impress them. part of it is trying to make ourselves feel successful. but there’s also something in our nature that tells us we can do better and reach highter.
this isn’t always a genative quality. there’s another saying: “a mans reach should ecess his grasp. or what’s a heaven for?” it is a good thing to be constantly pushing ourselves and looking for something difference, if we don’t try for more and more difference things, we begin to stagnate,like a pool that does not get any fresh water.
the problem comes when we won’t let ourselves be satisfied with anything we have. if we have a comfortable life and still feel as if something is missing. then we need to loo in ward. the something that’s missing may be in our spirit.
