    Kill off every human instinct within you and you will not get disappointed, but then you will not get happily surprised either.

    Disappointment is proof that you are striving for something better, that you have yet to get to the point where you are at your best. Yes, this also applies when other people make you disappointed. Just as we have to know sadness to know what true happiness is we need to know disappointment to know satisfaction and happy surprises.

    We have emotions to guide us through life and to teach us right from wrong, to avoid the emotions is to avoid the things that we are supposed to learn from life.

    Well, the best way not to get disappointed is to have very low expectations, not to count on yourself or anyone else for anything. However, if you live your life that way, then you'll likely be disappointed in yourself and in your life. There's no easy answer. So, I would say, "Do your best at all times, treat others as you wish to be treated, and let the chips fall where they may.

    I have no clue what you're really asking, but here's my response anyway. Hope it doesn't disappoint you. :)

    If you to expect anything, you can't get disappointed.
    Don't set your expectations to high. Make them attainable!
    Follow this and you won't get disappointed, but than, your life will be boring and mundane.
    No surprises!
    Life is full of disappointments.
    It's how we each handle them that matters!
    Keep your chin up and smile.
    That's how you handle disappointment.

    To know that all things work to the good ultimately. I think that everybody gets disappointed because everybody wants something or has a preference of the outcome of every situation.

    Karama yoga from Indian spiritual practices teaches us to focus on our actions and not on the results.This not only leads us to righteous actions but saves us from disappointments due to them.
