Most of people have dreams that revolve around beating others. If you want your indie game to succeed you have to make a better game than 99% of indie developers. If you want to marry the prince you have to be more attractive (inside and/or outside) than most other people. Or even to solve a big world problem you have to be better at it than most others who tried.
Of course you can have a dream to get kids or to marry and live a regular life etc, but people like to also having these stretch dreams and imagining what it would take for them to reach there.
- bko 1y agoI think the big dream thing is overrated in terms of popularity. In some cultures it would be taboo to say you're not ambitious. But most men i know want to marry a beautiful mid, make enough to support a family and watch football on the weekends. The grinders are just over represented in social media and media in general
