Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

maximizing = getting the most of everything

satisfying = being contented with whatever you have

The average westerners is quite ambitious; they are taught to acquire as much wealth,skills and properties as possible while one of the main concepts of buddhism is not being attached to materials things. buddhists are taught to be satisfied with whatever they have and to not chase material things, Hence the different types of motivation.
