Sunday, February 15, 2026 (Work more and expect less)

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.
