One of our mentors asked, "What is happiness? When do you feel happy?" We responded that we feel happy when we gain something good or avoid losing what we already have.
He then shared a thought-provoking equation "Happiness = Reality - Expectations" He continued, "If you want to be happy, expect nothing and appreciate everything."
Recently, our lecturer announced that 80% of the students had failed. I thought I had failed too, but to my surprise, I passed! The thing is, I don't accept anything below a B+ as an acceptable grade. Now, as I've just finished my 4th year, I'm happy that I passed, but it got me thinking.
Why don't we set high expectations and strive to make them a reality? Is it because we fear failure, because it's hard, or because it might not be necessary?
