    Content people are, by definition, not motivated to go out and get more. They're happy with what they've got. Capitalism thrives on motivating people to get more, do more, have more -- and it's linked to an elusive form of happiness. Contented people are already happy, and therefore are harder to motivate in that way.

    For example -- if you were happy with your job and your salary, how motivated would you be to climb the corporate ladder, and especially to make the sacrifices necessary to advance? Not very. Whereas someone who hated his job would be much more willing to do whatever it took to advance.
