Ex-PERGH-tation

Life is full of expectation, since we were born, people expect too much from us. 

Since baby, we're expected to be this and that. Untuk lebih malang lagi, if they got someone to compare you with.

Kita sendiri pun ada expectation terhadap orang lain 

- kita harapkan pasangan kita akan bersama dengan kita selamanya tapi ditinggalkan pula (eh, ni macam tak move on ja lagi 🙊🙊🙊)

- kita harap anak kita pandai genius macam Albert Einstein, sebab hari2 bagi makan kismis minda

- kita harap esok lebih baik dari harini TAPI TAKDA USAHA NAK UBAH RUTIN PUN 😤😤

- kita harap boss naikkan gaji tapi hari2 mengumpat boss ada helipad atas kepala (mende??)

"Expectation is the root of all heartache" - William Shakespeare

When people expect great outcome from us, but turns out we didn't achieve their target, they will say we disappoint them. But truth is, we also disappointed. 

Every single soul want to perform better, be better and achieve more, but we all got our own limitation. 

DOES THAT MAKES US LESS A HUMAN BEING? NO ! 

Nobody is perfect. but u can always practice till you do it perfectly. nobody got it right for the first time. Masa kita belajar berjalan, bukannya kita bangun2 dari tidur terus boleh berjalan marathon terus. Kita jatuh, dan jatuh dan jatuh. But did we gave up? NO! We get up and continue practice, until we can walk. 

Kalau baru sekali jatuh sudah tidak mahu berdiri, bagaimana mahu berjalan dan berlari? 

You cant blame people for anticipating you to do something PERGHHH in your life. 

Sometimes it could be your push to accomplish something great.

However, if you really cannot meet their expectation, worry not. Its not the end of the world. You can always try again next time, have faith and believe in yourself. 

We always focus on what people expect from us. How about we expect more from ourselves and less from others? that way, you will never hurt yourself when things didnt come out as you predict it will be. 

Im not saying that, we should just ignore the path to do something PERGHHH , but create a possible and achievable target. 

Contoh: 

• Pasangan nak kenduri grand, bajet 50k. You need to calculate the duration, how much you can save per month and how much you have now. Kalau memang takkan mampu, berbincang la, apa guna ada mulut, duhhh

• Baru mula diet harini tapi orang expect esok dah kurus kering macam ikan kering 😒😒. Ignore them. Just focus on yourself and keep up the good work, it may takes time but its not impossible

Expect less, when u expect too much, it could lead to series of disappointment. Trust me, Ive been there. 

Okaylah, malas dah nak menaip. Sekian

Salam sayang, paie.
