About Expectation

Salaam and g'day all. Well, well, well... we've reached the end of October and move to the eleventh month of this year. Time flies fast, I reckon. Faster than anything else. Just after a few million blinks and a few thousand breaths; here we are. With nothing but a "have-changed" _______ <fill your name in the blank>.

Last night, four of my friends and I threw a small party- literally. We cooked fried chicken and frankfurters and prepared a bottle of 'Sarsi', and enjoyed them as any normal person would. We were so damn contented, I presume. And were planning for another <mind you, the cook was Ewi:- so couldn't say 'NO' to have another>.

Expectation

The party ended up pretty quick, and the end I think was a very critical slot. One of my friends out of the blue, suddenly shared his life story. About how everything around him that he expected to happen this way, happened in the otherwise direction. We had a discussion about Fate and Destiny. Is destiny be accountable for every bad things that happened in our life?

To answer this, let us look back at all the variables that we have to make expectation. Firstly, we have time and secondly our own capability. Surrounding factors also exist and last but not least, the way we appreciate things. These are the things that affected us all the time, and are suspects for our case <which is, the loss of expectation>. Pace by pace, we will look into all these.

Time

Sounds familiar?

It is a giant idiocy to say time as the crime of this 'crime'. You see, time is like a river. It runs endlessly, up until the Creator says so. The way you react to it:- jumping, diving, swimming or even running- is the cause of the crime. So NO <X>, time is not the criminal. It's just a crime scene.

Capability

This might be it. Our capability has been often ignored upon expecting something. Merely but dreams, expectation wouldn't mean nothing if our capability is to be neglected. Simple analogue: you can't expect a baby to write blog as good as NadJoliey does, right?

Multiple modes <hey, this doesn't make sense with the post>.

Now going back to the old scheme, why should we blame our capability, then? Across humanity, capability is a constant. It doesn't move by itself, it is moved by one's initiative. Say: we have high capability and still having no initiative in using 'em, can expectation be heightened?

All in all, expectation should be based on our capability and limits. It is such a foolish act if you ere to do something and in the end, harm yourself. I'd say, re-check. And NO <X>. And this cleans capability as being out suspect.

Surrounding

So far, this is the nearest possible criminal. Why? Expectation--as I have mentioned earlier above--should be based on our capability. And dang! Even in our fullest preparation, we still couldn't get thing straight as the surrounding changes randomly. Only after a few steps forward, everything turned into somewhat alien to us. So there you have is; surrounding as a criminal.

A prospective person--no matter how weird the situation is--will make it through.

Again, I don't think surrounding should be 100% blamed for the loss of our expectation. In our preparation, it is prudent and rather prospective if we instill the consciousness about the reality, that, the reality changes dynamically. We should provide ourselves with enough back-up plan, just in case. 

Ourselves

Though surrounding has been sentenced guilty, there is one more suspect which I think, requires inspection <just to be fair with all the variables>. It's ourselves whom should be blamed most of the time. Preparations, initiatives, prospects, views and appreciation:- all come from ourselves. These innate aspects are more profound than anything that is outside our mind. It is our mind that do most of the works in achieving goals.

Say: you expect to have a Lamborghini, and have no effort to obtain money by all means. Would that mission be reachable?

Say: you expect to have the best result and do work hardly . By the end of the day, you get something, but still isn't enough for you. Doesn't it shows appreciation of our own best effort affects our expectation fulfillment?

Say: you are grateful and can focus all your efforts to achieve a goal. But then, you have no preparation about it. What achievement would you have?

Conclusion to my lengthy <TL; DR> post

It's in you. Your expectation, your preparation, the way you respect your capability <add. note: limits> and the way you appreciate the result(s) of your "I-tried-as-best-as-I-could" effort re the things that acquire your satisfaction. The thing is, you go out there with full preparation, and enjoy the result, no matter how bad it is. I leave you with this beautiful, yet true quote:
