The things I want, and have acquired in my life stems from my early childhood.

I can remember when I was 8 or 9 years old, and I wanted to play baseball one summer, but my father didn't have the money for new shoes, fielding glove, batting gloves, or registraion fee. Luckily, one of my friend's dad - who also happened to be the coach for team - said that he would pay for everything at no cost to me or my dad.

I was excited, because I was going to get to play baseball with my friends. However, the night that I got all of my new equipment, I woke up in the middle of the night needing to use the restroom, and as I walked passed my father's bedroom, I heard my father crying at first I thought that someone in the family died, but as I stood outside the door and listened I learned that the reason he was crying was because he was disappointed that he couldn't buy the things for me to play baseball. He felt like a failure as a father, and a man. For the record, I have never - and WILL never - think of my father as a failure in any kind of way. He was a success as a father - and a man - for these reasons: I have never been arrested for any crime, whatsoever, I never got into trouble at school, I didn't get a girl pregnant when I was in high school or college making my dad a grandfather before I was ready to become a father, he provded me with a college education, clothing, shelter, and made me the man that I am today.

Ever since then, I've always been motivated to succeed at everything that I set out to do whether it's athletics, academics, love, career, finances, etc . . . you name it, I have to succeed at it.

So, to answer your question, the fear of failure makes me crave what I want the most in this world, success.

The things I want bring me happiness so I automatically crave them.

Our wants and desires are greatly affected by corporations and their desire to sell as much of their product as possible in an attempt to make as much profit as possible. People don't realize just how influenced we all are by the constant bombardment of advertisements that we face EVERYWHERE in pop culture (tv, films, music, etc), and sometimes in the most subtle of ways. Ad agencies exploit human psychology to make us think a certain way. The concept of "cool" is programmed into us in every way imaginable. It's cumulative and contagious.

satisfaction, but I think cravings, are just things will satisfy yourself momentarily, so most of the time I just try to let them go
