I do not have all the birds I need. There are over 9300 in the world and I have only about 700. I do not expect to live long enough to see all 9300. Actually, many of the species will die before I even get the chance.
If I should be so fortunate as to get them all, there will be no others to seek. But that is not even remotely possible.

There used to be a time when we used to go out and hunt every day. At this time we did not have such large a brain capacity as we have now. As our brains got bigger and better we found better and better ways to hunt and eventually we created a society where we no longer had to hunt at all, we created the supermarket! Yet the drive to hunt and be active and achieve something remained!! Some people go to the gym and some people want to go out and shop till they drop while others become workaholics in order to satisfy their prehistoric instinct. In essence we humans know that we do not really own anything and that by going out and getting new things that we can give ourselves the false illusion that we posses something (if I have 5 cars and 1 gets stolen I still have 4, they could all get stolen or burned which proves that we don't really own anything). On top of this possession satisfies the prehistoric instinct which men use to attract women and vice verse. Someone who posses everything has to buy more things in order to win a female/male (whichever the case may be) when another who is in the running also posses everything...

The main characteristic of human nature is greed. There is not any person in the world that is absolutely satisfied all the times with what he (she) has. We always seek something more that can give us more satisfaction. This can be new clothes, a new television set, a new pc etc... Greed is not necessarily bad, I think it is the driving force of technology development, we always want to have the means to make our life better although many times we achieve exactly the opposite result...

Because life is a game and if we reach all our goals we have to create new ones to continue our existence. Problems are a part of it as well, plus it would be boring if we don't find other challenges. Also sometimes people that have everything which is materialistic, miss the spiritual which is a part of life itself so they feel unfulfilled.

I believe that all the GREAT traders do it becuase they enjoy the trading process and are trying to constantly improve their trading skills. It is like a Big Game that they can test their skills everyday(kind of like professional poker players).
