कोई कहे, 'बहुत कमा लिया, अब कुछ नहीं करना,' और काम ही छोड़ दे। यह सामान्य satisfaction नहीं, too much satisfaction है। ख़ुद से इतना संतुष्ट होना कि सुधार की ज़रूरत ही न लगे, complacent होना है।

Picture someone who says, 'I have earned enough; there is nothing more to do,' and stops working. That is not healthy satisfaction but too much satisfaction. Being so pleased with oneself that one sees no need to improve is being complacent.
