A mixture of emotions regarding a report I read in the Newpaper. It seems pretty absurd for a person to cry over a decent set of results obtained. Really wonder why one would be so disappointed.
What could be the reasons??
Well, firstly it definitely stems from expectations. Expectations of what their results should be.
Expectations stem from two sources : themselves and what other's would think,or have thought of them.
Well, expectation from others come from either parents or friends, or even society. The immediate environment you live in ie your school, or your country.
RJC. Don't see Ben Seck feeling stress over his results. We'll talk about him later on.
Hmm, wonder why people place such expectations no themselves. They place so much attention, invest so much energy and effort to obtain academic perfection. I wonder what drives them.
Secondly, it could be fear. Fear motivates people to really go beyond themselves. Perhaps, fear of being looked down, fear of losing out, fear of dsappointment, fear of not being noticed, not standing out.
don't really know.
Don't know whether to laugh or sympathise with them. It seems that they are really really blinded people.
Life without Jesus drives us to live in constant fear and in constant need to meet expectations of others.
With Jesus, we live in Godly fear and the need to meet His expectations. =) Not that it's easier, just that it makes you happier. If you let Him work. Well, that's enough for now. Time to continue mugging for my Financial Management.
