Protecting myself from disappointments

Someone has once told me that she try not to have expectations. That's why she is able to enjoy the little joys in life.

I had my doubts about it.

Lately, this idea kept coming back to me. I think I've started to understand why she said that.

If you try too hard, you'll keep expecting returns. If you don't get it, you'll feel depressed. Should I stop myself from trying, to prevent myself from getting disappointed? If it's yours, it's yours, even if you don't do anything. Right?

It's a good way of protecting youself, isn't it?

I read that in order to be happy, one should not become too engross witht the outcome in whatever we do..if we care too much about the outcome, we can disappointed and unhappy.. we should just do our best in whatever we are doing and accept whatever that comes with it.. easier said than done eh..
