High hopes is the work of the devil. Perhaps it's better if we never expect anything good, nice, beautiful and sweet, but instead are ready for the worst things at all times. It seems rather tedious to me, but at least that way one never gets disappointed.
Similar values are very important in any kind of relationship, professional or personal. It gives us an understand of what motivates others and it makes it easier to see where they're coming from and easier to follow their moods and actions. But what if you find you rarely share these values?
As I've said plenty of times I pride myself on my ability to read people and see what makes them tick or tock. But the downside is that I expect others to do the same. To put it plain and simple - they don't.
It's a shame when the world becomes so small that you can never take a bigger perspective and you fail to see all possible angles, seems some confuse being able to see it differently means to change your mind. It doesn't. It simply means you're aware of other possibilities. If life consisted of only one angle we wouldn't get very far.
But it's also a double edged sword. Knowing that your angle is just as valuable as anyone else’s might make you a bit flimsy to others, they can't seem to grasp you. And, yes, they do have a tendency to confuse flexibility with weakness. Please don't make that mistake.
What snaps first when bent, the twig or the rubber band?
