It's actually both, because society says get it if you want to be someone and then to be someone you have to learn how to maintain it. I think we all have different obstacles, abilities, and opportunities when it comes to something like this. So maybe the more important thing is to take the right kind of advantage of every opportunity that we get. What looks easy is often not so much so and what is really easy is often not really worth having. It is in the struggles we face or have to overcome to get whatever it is that we get and to maintain whatever it is that we have to maintain. What one may be able to get another may never be able to or expect themselves to and what may be easy for one to maintain another may never be able to no matter how hard they try. A lot of it is in learning the proper skills. One may also find that they have had or have different opportunities then others in life, so in some ways it has been easier for them. So I still have to say it is both.

" I will reap as much with no caring to the consequences " Simply going into details on the causality in reference to general attainment is a waste of time and effort. The rationale that much consideration will eventually lead to laziness, as in opportunity is hard to determine, and brooding has eventual of not doing anything, though an opportunity within reach with open hand in the invitation.
“ Strike when the iron is hot and ready “ As mentioned--- too much of calculation on the cons will yield nothing but procrastination, the dread that lead to disorganization and lost of motivation. Go along whatever in the objective and resolve the problem as it goes, because each step taken is an opening to the unforeseen that demoralized one’s approach. Thus not giving up is one sure way of success. You learnt from the errors in the encounters that mould you a better person in weathering the subsequent predicaments, otherwise it would have taken you apart, if not the resilience and experience you have acquired before. However notation of caution is necessary, given the fact that we are mortals and liable to the insuperable of folly, attributed to one’s ability and temperament which cast doubt on whatever we are doing in relative to propriety. Anyhow, we have to take the first step to ascertain what is forthcoming due to our enactment in the outcome.

No,,,,, it is how much you GET, not how much you maintain...

Like a car, a house, a computer, a tv,,, a video game,,, you get the idea... why limit yourself....

I think, it's NOT how much you GAIN, it's how you MANAGE to maintain even without? You see?

No. The sense of balance is only achieved when "what you get" equals "what you can maintain".

actually once you got something, often maintaining it doesn't seem worth while. so the gaining part tends to be more fun.
in the end I guess its how much you've gained that's that's actually worth keeping.
