Interesting idea. But is doubling ones success really equivalent to halving ones expectations? I feel torn between the two. On the one hand is the American/start up/self-help trend of going out and getting lots of success, and on the other is the more Buddhist view of eliminating desire. If happiness follow the above formula, is there a way to say one way is better than the other?
- rapind 16y agoI'd say halving your expectations itself is rather successful. Doesn't seem to me like the easiest thing to do. I think most of us are influenced by how other people view us to a varying degree, which raises our expectations of ourselves (keeping up with the jones'). I can't say if one is better than the other, but I'd envy you more for eliminating desire. Seems far more daunting to me.
