Psychologist Alfred Adler suggested that the primary goal of the psyche (精神) was superiority. Although【1】he believed that individuals struggled to【2】superiority over others, Adler eventually developed a more【3】definition of the drive

for superiority. Adler’s【4】of striving for superiority does not refer to the

everyday meaning of he word superiority. He did not mean that we【5】seek to surpass

one another in【6】or position, nor did he mean that we seek to【7】an exaggerated

importance over our【8】. Rather, Adler’s drive for superiority involves the desire,

to be competent and effective, complete and【9】, in whatever one strives to do.

Striving for superiority occasionally takes the【10】of an exaggerated lust for power.

An individual may seek to play god and exercise【11】over objects and people. The

goal may introduce a【12】tendency into our lives, in which we play games of “dog eat

dog”. But such【13】of the desire for superiority do not reflect its more【14】,

constructive nature. According to Adler, striving for superiority is innate and is

part of the struggle for survival that human beings share with other species in the【15】of evolution. From this【16】, life is not【17】by the need to reduce【18】or restore

equilibrium, as Sigmund Freud tended to think; instead, life is encouraged by the

desire to move from below to above, from minus to plus, from【19】to superior. The

particular ways in which individuals undertakes their【20】for superiority are

determined by their culture, their unique history, and their style of life.
