We all fall into this trap. And... The more we accomplish, the more we think we can accomplish, and on it goes. For some, it never stops. This is life, running from 1st base, to 2nd, stealling third, dashing for home and then doing it all over again in a bigger statdium, in front of more people again, and again and again. Bigger stadiums, bigger crowds.
There is a Greek cat who wrote a story about a guy like this; the guy was a King, the King of Ephyra. His name was Sisyphos.

Lovely videos but the intro music isn't the best
