Expectations

everyone has expectations, so what exactly is the true meaning of it?? according to wikepedia, expectations are beliefs based on the future due to uncertainty and this may or may not be realistic. a result that does not match the expecatation you have in mind makes u sad and disappointed while the ones which exceeds gives u a suprise and happiness.

there is a chinese saying that goes, the more you wish for, the greater the disappointment it will bring along.. so what does this tells us?? not to expect anything?? nah.. it only tells us to expect but also to expect for the worse.. there are alot of time when i expect something to go my way or that something magical or sweet might happen but when it doesnt, i will be super disappointed and will create a small fear to expect anything again.. yes i admit it does stop me from expecting stuff in the future but is that the way?? some may say yes and some no.. well what i think is that if u say yes, maybe u are just hiding away from reality, trying to save urself and protect urself from being hurt.. but if u say no, is it a stupid ans? nope.. certainly not.. it just shows how brave u are to be able to face the disappointment and hurt in the face..

then there are times when u wish for smthing but it never comes.. how do u feel?? sad.. then what do u do?? sulk for the whole day?? complain?? eat ice cream?? shop? there are sooo many things u can do and everything works differently for everyone.. sometimes when i have days like that.. i will sulk and sulk for weeks cuz im really upset.. but tt's life

and for ppl who are giving the expectations, dont give false hopes and false dreams cuz when it builds up bigger n higher, the fall gets tougher to break.. so if there is smthing u don think you can promise.. dont even try to promise.. cuz a word from u may do wonders for others.. words can kill at times.. so just rmb.. don promise what u cant do.. and dont do what u cant achieve..
