High hopes invite great disappointment. I've always told myself not to have high hopes if I don't want to be disappointed. However, I don't seem to learn from my past experience. At times, I really don't know whether I'm naive of just being forgetful.

I always believe hardwork and perseverance will bring fruitful ending; but, I think very few people are convinced. I just don't know how to make them see such simple theory. I just don't know how to take short-cuts or should I say I just don't want to take short-cuts. I stubbornly uphold my own principles, even though knowing very well by doing so will bring heartaches.

Well, I just can't make myself to go against my principles!?
