¿Is there anybody who doesn´t want to improve?

As per Napoleon Hill, “Desire is the starting point of ALL Achievement”. However, a burning desire, passion, determination, imagination, creativity are to be present in a system for us to achieve our dreams.
Succeeding is a science we should learn to dramatically improve our Life. The desire as the starting point, and the images we build from that desire, are great tools to achieve success in this world of opportunity.
“Imagintion is a faculty of the mind which can be cultivated, developed, extended, and broadened by use”
Every great achievement was born as a mental image, from a desire. We should ask ourselves ¿what is the most important thing I would be happy of doing?

Improvement in what sense? Everybody wants to get improved in wealth and they all dont have a good and meanigful way to acheive it timely and that too even they deserve it! What all you have said doesnt question on anything that you intend to ask. To improve one's own life in any area of his/her interest, to any specific level for a desired acheivement or attainment there are many other associative and influential factors which are needs to be understood, evaluated to measure the sucess. This definitely would vary in a great way between people, leaving you with no words to say anything comprehensible, as way you have expressed!

    Me.

    And I know PLENTY of people who have no desire to improve. Many people who simply work at their job and when given an opportunity to take free classes to improve their lot, they are simply not interested. Even if not working and offered free classes for career advancement

    Improvement is an antidote to feelings of inadequacy. When we feel/think that something is acceptable the way that it is, we no longer wish to change it. The same is true of people, ourselves, or our traits.

    And sometimes,somewhere,someone will be happy-of-
    doing nothing;that is,not improving.
    And if you want to improve further,a good idea would be to
    read of the romantics and that "movement".For they too
    were into this desire thing-that human emotions and thus
    senses were highly desirable and valuable,for all sorts of
    things.
    Some of us can see the fallacy and irresponsibility
    of this;and of its recurrence. And some scholars have shown
    that this talk of "desires",is better suited to the field of the Arts.Indeed its real "home".I wont talk here of such talk of"a
    burning desire....."has had on other parts of the world,of
    its very bad legacy in the educational field. For you also mention that "succeeding is a science we should learn to...
    improve our life": I agree that it does,but also warn that it
    doesnt always; Throwing-people-out-of-work,pollution and
    the creation of deadly enduring substances,not to mention the creation of weapons of mass destruction.(to just think of
    science as a single subject that deals with small,controllable
    things is a mistake,a big one).
    And every great achievement is a struggle,sometimes over
    Vast periods-of-time(eg law-and-order,with a trained police
    force to enforce it;mass voting for all;clean air,land and water
    for all citizens;the best selection-and-use of energy resources,especially,for our mass and barely controlled
    population).
    We have the latest sciences,social and psychological,biological;they must be used as much as the
    hard ones,not just to diversify and provide college placements,but to grapple with and extend the physical
    discoveries that have occurred. Improvement for me is not
    just one way and thus obvious- as surely one example of
    population control shows- the ability is there to artificially
    create life and increase procreation,yet the closely associated benefit of agreeable control seems far away than ever(even though China had a try some time ago now).
    Possibly our system is faulty,by not combining the two and
    heaping benefit in one direction only;as if"All achievement"
    can come from a present and impoverished dream.
    Even an impoverished dream,for the few,by the few.
