- 11
Never expect from
anyone so that
you are happy when you get it
 "Expectation". I have used this word in previous chapter, in context to the topic of not expecting an affirmative answer for outing from your friend!
In this chapter, I am going to elaborate on "expectations" or to be more appropriately "not expecting". I do not know whether I have any right to discuss this topic on baseline - Not to expect. I feel I have no right to do so because I, myself, expect many things many times! Majority of times my friend comes up to the mark, sometimes she cannot, due to her own problems - one thing I can affirmatively say, across my heart that I do not feel bad about the negative answer though I expect affirmation.
To put forth the hard fact. Even I expect! My friend has many times scolded me for
that! I try to change but cannot change myself, or may be I do not try. God know better!
As she tells me - Expectations hurt you. If you expect and do not get it you feel hurt! But! If you do not expect and you get it you feel good. Even I have experienced it many times.
Salutes to her!
This chapter I attribute to that friend of mine who asks me not to expect. I cannot say to you - Do not expect, but at least I can ask you to try doing what my friend says. I cannot ask you to do it because I expect, myself. But I can ask you to listen to her precious advice to us because she never expects! She is contented with what she has. She never expects anything from me, maybe that's the reason why she gets!
Well! I really do not understand as to how should I proceed with this chapter…
I would just say - "Try not to expect… and I will try to."
Thus - Listen to my friend. Never expect from anyone so that you are happy when you get it!
