It's funny that some parts of this are exactly the opposite to the culture here in the Netherlands. Everyone's expected to be happy with who they are, and ambition is often looked more or less looked down upon unless you can explain how much happier you are for it even if you don't reach the top. Ironically, with the peer pressure to seem happy, in a collective definition, the result is more or less the same: few people are brave enough to break out of expectations and live according to their personal values.
