Striving

Half way between surviving and thriving. You're working towards thriving, but you just aren't there yet.

Striving

Striving is like trying. When you try, you put effort into whatever you're doing and then stop. Thus the phrase, "Try, try again". When you strive to do something, you put 110% into the task and you keep going until you either accomplish it or you confirm that what you're trying to do is impossible.

Dave: I tried... I really did. I just can't stay sober.
Mindy: Dave, it's because you're only trying. You're not giving it your all. You should be striving to stay sober, not just trying.

Marcus: I couldn't beat him! I keep trying to win, and he keeps rubbing my face in my efforts!
Bryce: Dude, you gotta be striving to win. You can't win by just trying - he's got skills, man - you gotta think above that. You know, you just gotta know you know you're gonna win, you know?
Marcus: At least I'm trying.
Bryce: Nah, I don't like that game, dude.

striving to do poorly

A dysfunctional operating principle that degrades thinking, distorts reality and is responsible for initiating a self-destruction sequence for many influential, technology-based companies where profit is commonly valued over moral welfare and data aggregation proceeds at the expense of social responsibility.

The Facebook just sold all of my personal data to Instagram and they turned around and dumped it on Reddit! I trusted ALL those bastards and they're striving to do poorly...next up, WikiLeaks
