Dissapointment..

How well are we handling our dissapointments?
Are we really following what we preach? Well that is a big question mark for me. I usually tell my kids, not to get dissapointed easily and to be patience. But when it comes to me, i guess im unable to get over it as well. When we really put in our hard work, why does it take too long for us to get the rewards we expect. Or, is the expectations which causes us to get disspointed. Anyhow,how should we really deal with dissapointment? Some tells me, buck up girl, you will be able to get over it soon if you engage in some activities and when we finally get something to do, the same people who told us are the one who pretends as though you do not exist in this world. So, why is it that when you are zero, they tend to give advices and when you are trying to stand on your own feet they pretend as though you dont exist. Well, atleast the most you could do is to give words of encouragement. That will be so much relieve rather than pretending not to exist at all.
Well, it all comes back to expectations i guess. How nice it would be if only our hard work gets notice and be rewarded the same time..well only God has the reply!
