Expectations......STRESS

Stress, stress, stress!! This seem to be one of the common problem that many people are facing everyday. It may be due to work, family, friends....etc. The reason behind it is often when we perform below our expectations. We are afraid that we underperformed in our work/studies hence dissappoint the people around us. Or we are afraid how other people will look at us.
Have we realized that many a times the problem lies in ourselves instead of others. We may want a car but we need to face the problem of increasing expensess. We want the latest handphone but we do not really need the additional function at all. So what the earth are we wasting so much money in buying so much 'worthless' things for? Face it, dud!! It's all about the 'face' or recognisation we want. Hence we at the same time spend all our lives trying to work harder and harder to get the money required.
Maybe we shall take a step back and start to appreciate the little things around us. Instead of complaining about how hard life is for us, why not try to find some good points to take note of in the midst of the difficult situation? Life still go on regardless of our feelings, therefore let's try our best to lives each day to the fullest instead.
