Mathematical formula of happiness

I'm at the moment reading a very inspiring book about life. And I found something I would like to share with you: 

Mathematical formula of happiness:

R/E, or, Reality divided by Expectations. 

There is two ways to be happy:

1. Improve your reality.

 or

2. Lower your expectations. 

Isn't that easy? What do you choose? But what happens if you don't have any expectations? Or in my case always have too high expectations? Will I be "unhappy" for the rest of my life or "suffer" from little happiness? I believe despite this formula in having high expectations on myself and others because that is actually a source of happiness for me. But I know what we all need a balance (平衡) in life.
