i learnt not to expect too much~
Are there anything wrong with setting expectations?
Should expectations be set in the first place?
Frankly speaking, i was a person that do not really expect much and just hope to live life happily and harmoniously..To think back, I was too simple-minded, huh?
After going through lots of life experiences, may it be while studying in high school, working temporarily or currently in universtity life, I realise I was missing out much and eventually didn’t really work hard enough through out my high school..
Therefore, when i’m in my university life, i realise i had to work hard..it’s for myself…i wouldn’t want to regret later in life..I did studied hard for my recent exam..i had put more effort than before..But, the result wasn’t what I “expected” it to be..
Wondering why am i writing all this? Im writing all this because Im wondering…What went wrong? How can I improve on the next exam? Why things like this happen? Because i hit the skids?
I felt terrible & extremely depressed after knowing my result..it could have turned out to be better! I EXPECTED it to be better..and i can’t believe it is like that.
I think I have learnt not to expect too much…it will only leads to unhappiness if the result turn out to be not up to the expectation..
It doesn’t only apply to exams but, also towards people and life events around us…For instance, when we are happy, we might expect our close ones to cheer & share the joy with us..or even when we felt down to earth, we might expect understanding from our friends..
Well, I learnt an important lesson…not to expect too much..may it be on living creatures or life events…
Just have to stand strong & be courages no matter what may come in life, i guess…hmm…again…easy to say but hard to perform,huh?
But,no matter what, I have to stand strong…I can’t fall so easily because there is still a long way to go~
I like to use this phrase, { IF YOU BELIEVE YOU CAN, YOU CAN! }
Found this phrase motivating when im feeling lost…
