I wanted to conquer the world like Alexander the Great. I’m not sure why that appealed to me, in retrospect.
(A friend gave me some advice a few years ago. He said “You’re much more normal than you like to think. You have normal needs and you will be happy if you live a normal life.” I don’t know if he’s right.)
In seriousness, 99.999999% of people will live a “normal” life, and very occasionally, someone might have a time or two that elevates it above “normal”. The percentage of people who live “above” normal lives is so tiny, physicists would laugh at you for using so many decimal places.
Wanting more isn’t a problem unless that desire is killing what you have to be happy about now.
In other words, “don’t let perfect get in the way of good”

Sounds like your friend is just lame.
