Expectations

Everything we do in life, we expect a result, and thus, an expectation is kept at heart. Other than charity (maybe), I couldn't recall any sort of action where someone actually do something and not expecting a return. We plant a seed, and we will expect it to grow into a plant. We rear animals, and we expect some sort of return, like affection, or food source. We throw the ball, and expect it to go away, instead of coming back. So many scenarios, and every one of them shows the same pattern: We expect something to happen. Regardless of how impossible the outcome to be, there is a certain expectation in everyone else, hoping that they see what they want to see.

Our expectations are limited to our creativity, and guts, and the degree of expectation is limited to our perception of the world. So many people in the world, yet, expectations wouldn't differ much to one another. Of course, there is a certain boundary, which divides the sane, and otherwise. Stepping over the boundary is what everyone is trying to keep themselves from doing. Stepping on the boundary, however, is what keeps the geniuses at the top. They take risks, trying to achieve what others deemed unlikely, and succeed. Everyone has his or her own crazy ideas, but how many are willing to take the necessary options to step on the line? Many have tried, and failed, and most back away. Persistence comes into play, and expectations grow, and evolve at every turning point. People keep trying and trying and trying. There are instances where one keeps trying, and doesn't succeed, even until he or she dies. But imagine the inspiration that those who tried left behind. People are growing more and more self-centered, they forget to try. I won't blame them. No one will. It takes a whole lot more than one person to take the road less taken. Taking the whole world alone is not really good for health. There is really nothing to be blamed about. I am just trying to remind about the unearthed potential. That's all.

Expectations is what put people in places they have never dreamed of, and places they have dreamed of as well. We are only an insignificant portion of the universe, and the Earth can die away, without leaving much of an impact to the rest of the universe. Think about it.
