Why do we try to achieve more?

Goal oversetting is a common mistake we all make. And the main reason why it happens is a transitory state of euphoria.

Usually, when you are succeeding at something, you are more willing to set goals. But temporary success blinds your reason, and you think you can achieve the same results consistently.

However, science proved that trying to beat expectations is healthy. A study by Professor Castejon discovered students with overachieving personalities reached more goals.

Moreover, they align with new goals faster, which makes them most resistant to failure.
