The most important thing for happiness (from my Lang-8 posts)

In my last English lesson, my teacher told me to choose the most important thing for my happiness from several choices. I chose "not wanting more than you've got".

The teacher asked me why I thought so. It was a bit difficult for me to explain the reason in English. I said something like the following.

- The more we get, the more we want.
- We can't be satisfied no matter how much we get.
- We can't get everything.
- We should live within our limits.

However I'm not sure whether my answers were to the point.
