Look at at this way. If you had been married, odds are you would be divorced.

That is a pretty shitty outlook and not what I took away from the book. It is not about being happy with mediocrity because everything you want could be complete shit. Just because you had a bad experience, doesn't mean everybody does.
I don't agree with your quote unless there is more to it. The desire for a more positive experience is only negative if you don't have a path to get there and the work ethic to make it happen.
If you take the quote for just the quote, then nobody should want for anything more than living with their parents...
