Life is like searching for something* on a browser!
All our life we keep searching for something! some search ways to earn better! some search for grandeur! some for peace! some search their life's love! and some search ways to out prove everybody else and then there are some who are content and don't search. But majority of us are searching for something!
But problem with all kinds of search is you have to be very specific in what you want to search! Other wise the browser will throw thousands of search results in fraction of secs ( may be few days or few months or few years in case of life) . Then you'll have to go through all of them, search results, but what most of us do is pick some result at random, after looking at it and deciding!
After you picked up a result, of your choice, you go through it for some time and you feel "no this is not exactly what I am searching for"! and you realize the "thing" you are searching for is elusive to you!
Then you have two options - 1) Be content and use that result in the best possible way or 2) Try again your search with a modification in query.
If you choose 1st option! good! carry on with life! ( They know the truth! :P )
Its the 2nd option that differentiates a smart and intelligent man from an average man! The smart man now knows what things are critical! and with just one or two searches more he is bang on!
But a average man will take long time to decide on what specifics to search for!
*In a lifetime we search for multiple things ,which mota-moti** depends on where did you start in Maslow's hierarchy of needs!

Dude! u doing some seriously good thinking...
Just had a different opinion on the last part. The kind of problem you are talking about mainly pertains to people who are on the level seeking social recognition in Maslow's hierarchy. In other levels people are too focussed (based on that level's goals; including actualization)to lose their direction. The problem is that the average person (without a peak in any one particular sphere) remains stuck in this level for usually his or her lifetime. So it is not about the starting point. However this could be defined a a general characteristic of this kind of sample set...hope i have been able to put my point across :)
