too much choice/expectations

So i just watched this video about having too much choice in the modern time.. The idea is simple, you go to supermarket because you want to buy some sauce for your pasta..You find the right isle, and you feel perplexed. There are so many sauces, so many flavors, so many brands.. You want to cook pasta and because there is so much choice you want to pick the best sauce in order to make the best pasta.
After a couple of minutes, you realize that you are torn by the abundance of choice. Every label looks attractive, every flavor seems exotic.. How to make a decision?? You eliminate most of them and you are left to choose between two. After you cooked your pasta, you enjoyed the flavor and thus you enjoyed your choice. But you also think that maybe you could ve made a better decision if you had chosen the other brand of pasta. At that time you re no longer satisfied with the fact the your pasta turned out to be great,, you think that you could ve made it to be the best!!! You want to go back in time and change things. This is nothing serious but your mind playing tricks on you. Also its the abundance of choice.

I think that this is a good theory. I did find myself confused and hesitant many times when i had to make a decision. Sometimes I start watching television and find some interesting movie that is going on. Because there are thirty more channels that are playing other movies i find it hard to stick to one channel for a long time. My remote is really at work when i sit down to watch TV. I have an expectation that there is something better going on. This is the classic problem of expectations. Human beings often have high expectations. When these expectations get crushed by the waves of reality human beings feel unhappy. That doesnt mean we shouldn't build expectations. it means that we should approach our expectations with caution.. someone might say reach higher than you can throw.. that way you will reach the highest possible point. 'if you aim low then you won`t accomplish much'- that`s what we hear from time to time. So what should we really do?? How to live this life??? There is a way I think. The phrase - "Dream big" - means that you should have a big dream and that one day you might succeed at accomplishing it. but what if you won`t succeed? what if you ll find out that you have failed to realize your big dream? You will probably feel unhappy with yourself. You had some expectations about making your dream into reality. These expectations were crushed. Should you no longer have expectations?? I think that you do want to have dreams and expectations, because you want to be alive. I honestly don`t understand how it is possible to have low expectations. Will you work hard and be patient if your expectations are low? If you want to make something unique and then show it to other people and then get appraisal for it you will do your best at creating this thing. You expect that your work and effort will result in desired outcomes.. At the same time you have to acknowledge the fact that in this world not everything will be as you have planned. This is the balance of expectations. You can`t simply get rid of your high expectations because how will you progress then? how will you experience the process of growth? at the same time you should be aware of the potential failure of expectations, you should check them before they wreck you... Dark and light, wet and dry, good and bad - are all parts of one harmonious one. So I dont agree with the theory that you should have low expectations. And no matter how much you ll rationalize your attitude toward expectations, you will observe that we human beings tend to cling to positive high expectations all the time.. Its easier to wake up in the morning that way,,its easier to live..
