I know what's next!
Is it really all about the treadmill? Is it really about running each other out? Not exactly. More truly, there are perspectives and perceptions. They may not necessarily be all true but they certainly hold some credence in them to be looked upon often times.
They say, “to succeed at what you do, and to do it right, you need to fall in love with what you do. Unless you love it, you're never truly satisfied”, I add, “it’s then that you tie your satisfaction to salaries, designations, and fame....” It’s not about maximization of profit really but it’s more about the realities and practicalities that you’ll encounter on your way.
I wanna say that I think of something that is unrelated to financial gain but still influential to the world as more important that soulless maximization of profit in the name of progress and in an attempt to gain recognition. Of course, one can never deny the monetary compulsion factor out of one’s life but one must see it with multiple perspectives.
My passion is perception. I love to know what people know, what people think, and what people learn with their knowledge and thoughts. Doing nothing puts me to death or even repeating the same familiar routine for long also annoys me. I love to push the limits further, create the next challenge, and test myself if I can get through it. I might not be successful every time but it definitely gives me an idea of my own abilities. This is what I think I wanna do. Use my abilities to do that something extra for people out there and putting my interests on a lower priority level than theirs. This, of course, comes after you are satisfied with your desires and wants and it’s a vicious cycle but we, or at least I, want to achieve this before the end. "The End" being the satisfaction of one's desires. Or rather I want to lower the bar of my desires and pursue them alongside my aim.
When we put our faith in something we believe passionately, we are more likely to devote ourselves to make it happen. However, before that, we should have something very clear to set our beliefs upon. Instead of working out for ourselves throughout our lives, we should really set an aim and work towards it - a realistic goal. It's about time that we should get off the treadmill and start thinking in terms of training together and producing together and leaving an impact together.
I think I do see it happening or is it totally flawed?

Treadmill is an interesting metaphor to working alone. Good choice.
Working alone is good, and you learn a lot about yourself. I think "working on the treadmill" when it has a large impact is just as good as working together.
I agree with the part about working together, though =)
