Pursuit, First Instance

There are different levels of pursuit like of Happiness, Popularity, Money, excellence etc. One among them is the pursuit of Prestige. Human beings are social animals as often quoted. We love others to know what we have achieved. We do this because we want to be recognized and encouraged so that we might be motivated or simply give a good impression. We do it by showing our connection with others (people or things) that we consider worthy or important.

Examples :

“When I was in XY University, I used to study 5 hours daily”. (We can say just university but we don’t do it because it’s about prestige). We try to show our college badges, student cards etc. This is how we try to inspire others by motivating ourselves. This is bit natural. Prestige is a mid-level pursuit.
