The Net of Expectations!

Expectations! Are there people around you who are expecting a lot from you just cause your elder among your siblings or maybe cause your a dab hand at academics? Usually our family members and friends laden their expectations unto us. Where it gives us a boost it also frustrates us when its time to hoe greater examinations. Our teachers start expecting too and if we don't score then we've committed a heinous sin because we couldn't run along with the expectations! Expectations are good, but the people around us specially our parents should learn to keep them with themselves instead of recalling their expectations unto us and rebounding us into them. They do encourage us, there is no refraining but at the same time they scare us! You know when your actually doing good this span of expectations starts knitting nets. The whole vicinity starts expecting. People start eyeing you as you come into their focal cause of your performance.Your brain starts taking the pressure and you make mistakes.




Well, i'm good at academics and i score highest in my badge with the grace of God. When i usually tell my friends i haven't prepared for the test or something, they would simply pass it out giggling saying "Your still going to score highest" And i'm always like what the hell, no body's so perfect! What is this actually? Its the expanding net of expectations which gives birth to more expectants. It might seem good at the start but it starts bugging one, really! I've stopped saying i haven't prepared or that the test didn't go well cause the response of people is more vexing then scoring bad. My dad expects a lot from me and its his counselling that brought me so far but his expectations are unfortunately a burden on me now.

 Here's another poem, an influx of feelings...

When we are burdened then it gets hard to give the same performance ain't it? We start getting depressed and in that state we cant give our best. Moreover its more of a victory when nobody expects and you accomplish your goal successfully. This expectations burden is still a part of my life and i fail tackling it, it went too hard on me to tackle Cambridge International Examinations! A thing i learnt is to keep things up to ourselves. One should not create such an image that people eye you with expectations, rather be silent, work hard, your success will make the noise. If anybody has more possible solutions to tackle this problem then kindly post it in the comment box.
