i have learned many lessons in this life, some i learned the hard way and some i learned through harder way :). i had learned how life could be so cruel and i say life is not fair, it never was. sometimes no matter how good your intentions were, people would still drag you down to dirt. i dont know why but maybe that's the game of life; and we must play wise. another thing i learned is not to expect too much. yes, you heard it right. coz expecting too much would only lead you to heartache and tons of frustrations. people tend to give the least so expecting too much would only result to disappointments on your part. for our emotions to be safe we must go on with the flow., accept what life will brings you but dont set expectations.

Expect the worse, hope for the best as they say. Although, in my life the opposite has been true, when I don't trust the universe absolutely nothing turns out right...when I trust things will work out - everything just falls into place.

Of course the buddhists believe that we should abandon all expectation - good or bad of how we want something to be or turn out - then you're never disappointed.

Thats the one thing I've learned to in so many obstacle I experienced in my life. I learned that for me not to feel hurt and dissapointed I must not expect to much or expect to anyone I loved. Because If they failed to my expectation I felt that they cheated me or done nothing to make me feel happy.

it is better to expect much from life because if you think small you remain small. as the bible says, as a man thinketh so is he. your aspiration should be high and achievable. even if you are unable to achieve them within the stipulated time, it can be carried over. so you should expect high even if you are disappointed, carry on, i mean fordge ahead because life is not considerate.
