Modern people should have moderate expectations and reduce disappointment.

Have you ever wondered why modern people always feel that things in life aren't as smooth as they imagined? Perhaps, the problem lies in our expectations. Yeah, expectations can sometimes be more illusory than reality itself. Just like people in love always expect their partners to read their minds, but in the end, reality hits them hard.

Modern life is fast-paced, we are always surrounded by various things, so naturally, we have some expectations. But the problem is, sometimes our expectations are too high, reaching the ceiling of disappointment. You expect to go on a heavenly vacation this weekend, but all your friends are busy, so you end up staying at home binge-watching shows. Feeling a bit overwhelmed, right?

So, I think we need to learn some expectation management. We need to figure out what is a reasonable expectation. Don't think I'm asking you to have no expectations in life; then what's the point of life? But be realistic, don't let your expectations fly too high, or you'll fall harder. For example, you expect your work to go smoothly, but in reality, work is full of challenges and uncertainties. With this understanding, you won't collapse emotionally over a minor setback.

Secondly, we need to learn to adjust our expectations. Sometimes, things may not go as we wish, but there might be another way to make us happier. Just like planning to go to the beach, but the weather is bad, so change the plan and explore the city instead. Adjusting expectations timely can not only reduce disappointment but also add some fun to life.

Lastly, learn to enjoy the present moment. Modern people are always attracted by future plans and expectations, rarely can anyone truly enjoy the beauty of the present. Actually, the present is the only thing we can control. Don't always live in the fantasy of the future; now is the real life. So, why not stop and feel the scenery in front of you, savor the taste of life?

In conclusion, modern people need to learn expectation management. It's not that we should lose hope in life, but to understand that moderate expectations can help us better adapt to reality, reduce disappointment, and make life more meaningful. Just like adjusting the focus of a telescope, timely adjusting our expectations can make everything clearer and better.
