J. Krishnamurthy and most of the philosophical writers and some of the religious teachings suggest to live without any expectations to lead a happy life.
I think I agree that statement. BUT, big question is HOW?
I think it is really hard to follow in this materialistic world. Not even for the sake of materials but also for sake of love among the families.
When we work hard in our company, we expect some sort of acknowledgment from them. If we don't get what we expect, then we think the company is not fair. If you love someone truly, then when we find out that the other person does not love you as you expected, you think that he/she is not fair with you.
In both the above scenarios, the level and type of expectation varies however expectation exists.
Some of us kill ourselves with this sort of confusion after we find out that things don't happen as we expected. Rather than killing ourselves, why cannot we take some time to express our loved ones or company about what we deserve and why we deserve. It may alleviate some sort of pain that we cause to ourself and probably we may get what we want or deserve.
You may not get always what you want but at least by taking an opportunity to share your feelings, you could live happily without torturing yourself. As long as we live happy life...what else matters? Expectations, beliefs, dogmas, etc....all formed by us because of our capability of thinking and making things complicated sometimes than it seems to be.

"Only he who can see the invisible can do the impossible."
Thanks to Frank Gaines for this statement.
This quote made me think on an achiever's perspective and I consider as one of the most motivated quotes that I have ever read.
We have heard our elders mentioning "Nothing is impossible" while we were kids or even now some of our colleagues, having dynamic can-do attitude, keep saying these sort of statements to motivate their co-workers, friends, relatives, etc.
Frank has gone a step further to tell us how to do the impossible. Interesting! by seeing the invisible. To me, if any one who can see something what others don't, then he can do something what others don't.
Can we always see the invisible? In other words, are we always alert to observe the invisibilities around the opportunities? As I mentioned in my previous post, we may lose control over our own actions because of others. At that instant, I am afraid we cannot see the invisible. You then become dormant in making some impossibilities.
Though we all can advise others with these sort of quotes easily, I think it is hard to consider ourselves.
Can we change our view on ourself? In other words, can we really look at ourself and the happenings of our own life like anyone else. Can that ease out the feeling that we have? Are not we another living organism of this whole world? Can everyone get everything in this world? Is there any reason for all the happenings? Or is it just how the whole world works? Sometimes we take things for granted, when there is a real need of that very thing, we then end up struggling.
Need never ends....
