sometimes it's sad to say we sort of always live under some people's expectation
and at the very same time we also have very high expectation towards other people
reason being we live under expectation of others is
when we are a kid our parents expect us to grow fast and able to walk fast, talk fast or even run fast
then later when we are in our Primary our parents, teacher, even our relative expect us to have straight As. (this is what i see from my cousin sister whom she scored straight As recently).
then going to secondary you have PMR and SPM your parents will still have the same high expectation towards you if you had done very well previously.
subsequently when you go to college or university and if you are holding a scholarship, people will expect you to have excellent result so that they will continue their scholarship for you
when you graduate, your parents expect you to have a high income job and never ever get money from them and instead you should contribute some for time as pocket money
while you are working your boss would expect you to be a good employee which out perform others so that they can speed track you
and reason being we always have high expectation from others is
we always expect a high pay, little work, fast promotion job
we always expect others to treat us nice regardless of how we treat others
we always complaint about the things we do not have, and not the things that we have already have with us.
we always criticize others did not do this well and that well and did not look into the mirror clearly to see whether we are doing the same too
sometimes i think living under too much expectation makes a person tension and miserable. no matter how to a certain extend we need to live up to certain people's expectation in order for us to excel in our life.
so just take it our leave it.
