Wedness day, February 25, 2026 (Ending of dark period)

The winter is coming to an end when the summer is going to knock the door soon. I thought the winter would be dark, lifeless and depressing time. The sun hides behind the cloud all the time and the light disappeared quick after starting the sunrise. Nature looks like the screen of a horror movie where everything is dull and lifeless without any greenery. It is quite Normal for depression to occur under those circumstances. However, expecting the worst-case scenario may help to tackle the negative forces. In the same way, the period of darkness was not too much bad for me at all. In fact, I enjoyed the season with various functions and activities. The quietness of winter provided peace to my mind.

I follow some philosophies strictly and one of them is "work more and expect less". However, it was neither created automatically nor was it inherent within me. In my life time, I have been improving myself and I believe that I have many shortcomings. I am open for changes and ready to accept a philosophy if it has potentially noble. It was in 2015 that our teacher, Abu Isa Nur, presented the quotation during an HRM lecture. 

Before knowing about the philosophical idea of it, I used to expect low for it as well. It became an integrate part of my life. I work and work to improve each and everything. At the same time, I always pressurize myself to give my best for any task. when it comes to the outcome of my work, I never expect the best scenario. I always expect the lowest one for me. 

I know many people who criticize me for the habit. But they forget about two crucial things including continuous improvement and happiness. If I undervalue my work, I located my limitations and there is a scope for improvement. Additionally, expecting less and getting more makes me happy and thankful to the creator. If being happy and thankful to the creator is an act of stupidity, I love to be that stupid. 

I got 69 marks for the dissertation and one of my friends wanted to know about my feelings. I still feel that the result is above my expectation. I had doubts whether I would pass or not. Thus, I am happy for it as I earned it with my dedication. My efforts satisfies my mind that I am able to work hard and I will continuous it in future.

I attended a presentation for the dissertation defense yesterday which was the officially last academic activity. I plan to rest this week and think about upcoming future. I will set some achievable goals for the next 2 years in order to fulfilling the ultimate goal in next five years. I think I am again in the right direction with some goals. After 2020, I had no further plan in my life and I passed my life from 2020 to 2023 without any significant milestone. Though I will be a full time worker within few days, I am excited to plan each and every thing right now. Hopefully everything will go as per plan.

The busy period is coming to end now. I was heavily engaged in writing my dissertation for one and a half month. Though I am still not confident about the work, I tried my best to write it. 

Friday, November 30, 2025 (Opportunistic)

People hold various perceptions about life. More or less they follow an ideology which is influenced by the various factors including religion. I always love to know about the philosophy of others as it enriches my knowledge with new ideas. I always respect other's philosophy even though it is completely opposite to my thought. However, I have faced some unique adverse human ideology which does not follow any rules and regulation. I never appreciate that people hold a philosophy and they change or break it while getting benefits. The philosophy should be called opportunistic and they do not have ethical values at all. On the top of that, they always try to twist the facts as per their benefits. 

I saw the same thing when I was in Bangladesh. Right now, I observe it in extreme level especially among Bangladeshi communities and become frustrated. My frustration arises due to two main reasons.

Firstly, I want to believe that the world is a great place and people are generally kind and honest. Rules and regulations exist in the world and we have to follow them sincerely. The fundamental problem is that people's opportunistic behavior breaks my myth about the world. Most people of my community follow a common ideology though they are not strict to it. When one opportunity arrives, people try to grab it without thinking about philosophy or ideology or even ethical behavior. 

Secondly, they are proving that my father was right about the world. I know he had more experience about practical life and always tried to protect me. In contrast, I tried to convince him that people were helpful and honest mostly.
