Simplified meaning
When a person doesn't have high hopes or expect anything from others, they won't feel let down if things don't go their way. For example, imagine someone didn't expect a birthday gift from a friend. If the friend doesn't give a gift, they won't be upset since they weren't counting on it. On the other hand, if they do get a gift, they will be pleasantly surprised. This way, they can always be content with what they have, instead of feeling sad about what they don't. By not expecting too much, people can live more happily and avoid the pain of unmet expectations. This advice helps people appreciate what they get and reduces frustration over unrealized hopes.
