加缪写道：我并不期待人生可以过得很顺利，但我希望碰到人生难关的时候，自己可以是它的对手。

Camus wrote: I do not expect life to go smoothly, but I hope that when I encounter difficulties in life, I can be its opponent.

成年人的世界，不如意事十有八九。

In the world of adults, there are nine out of ten things that are not as good as good.

与其因为盲目期待而心生诸多痛苦，不如及早认清现实，直面真相。

Rather than suffering from blind expectations, it is better to recognize reality early and face the truth directly.

一个人变强大的过程，就是逐渐戒掉依赖之心，转而依靠自我力量去成长的历程。

The process of becoming stronger is to gradually break free from dependence and instead rely on one's own strength to grow.

降低对关系的期待，增强钝感，相处自安然。对任何关系期待太高，都是一场灾难。待人少一份苛求，多一份体谅，认清本分，珍惜情分，是人到了一定年纪最大的成熟。

Reduce expectations for relationships, enhance dullness, and get along peacefully. Expecting too much from any relationship is a disaster. To be less demanding and more understanding in dealing with others, to recognize one's duties, and to cherish emotions, is the greatest maturity of a person at a certain age.

降低对结果的期待，脚踏实地，回报自然来。生活中，总有一些事情，是自己力所不及的。我们能做的，就是不执着于结果，把握好过程，做好眼前确定的每件小事。

Lower expectations for results, stay grounded, and rewards will naturally come. In life, there are always things that are beyond one's ability. What we can do is not be obsessed with the results, grasp the process well, and do every small thing that is determined in front of us well.

当你把期望降到最低，才能让所遇皆为惊喜。

When you lower your expectations to the lowest, you can make everything you encounter a pleasant surprise.
