GREAT EXPECTATIONS !!!

“The best things in life are unexpected - because there were no expectations.”

There's a story of a turtle family who decided to go for a picnic.Turtles are considered to be very slow with their work so it took them around 7 years to arrange their picnic. Finally , on one fine day they left their home. During second year of journey they found a place. It took them six months to clean the place and make arrangements.When they unpacked their juice and sandwiches they found that they had forgotten sugar at home. All the turtles big , small everyone started crying and creating a fuss. The eldest turtle decided to send the youngest and the fastest turtle to go home and get the sugar.The youngest one agreed to go but he had put up a condition : noone will untill he is back and everyone agreed upon it. They waited for five years and then they couldnt resist themselves from food so the eldest turtle took a piece of sandwich and suddenly the youngest turtle popped in from behind and said ,'YOU WERE SUPPOSE TO WAIT UNTILL I GET THE SUGAR'.Now the youngest turtle said he wont go and get the sugar.
Some of us waste our time waiting for people to live up to our expectations. We are so concerned about what others are doing that we don't do anything ourselves.


We often forget what we want from life because we are bound by others expectations. Do you really know what you want to do in future or what you expect from yourself?? Expectations often guide us to success and better future , only if they are not a burden.We had an expectation that Sachin Tendulkar will make a century in World Cup FInal 2011 but he didnt because his aim was the team should win the cup and not his century.

Expectations become burden and people start procrastinating things because some how they are not willing to achieve it.Welcome to the world where each one is expecting something from the other.We are lost in viscous circle of expectation when you are a child ur parents want you to get full marks , when you are in your high school they wish you become a doctor or an engineer , when in your college time you fall in love and now your better half whose expectations should be your top most priority , after studies you end up taking a job and where every day you are given a target and if not fulfilled you will be kicked out , when you marry you have your companion as well as kids and then you also start expecting from them.
There are people who are afraid of expectations and they expect very less, so that when they get more then expected they feel its a bonus.But when you start over expecting and you dont,you get frustrated and lose hope.

“High achievement always takes place in the framework of high expectation.”

There are people who are afraid of expectations and they expect very less, so that when they get more then expected they feel its a bonus.But when you start over expecting and you dont,you get frustrated and loose hope.When you think big you will work big same goes with your expectations.When you raise your expectations you will definitely look forward for achieving it.When you expect only the very best you will get only the very best. What you earn right now is what you expect to earn. The amount of free time you have right now is what you expect to have as free time. The relationships you have are what you expect it to be. When you expect the best it's not like expecting something good or something similar, but it is the best and only the best. You have to stop settling for less than you can be or have.

“I do my thing and you do yours. I am not in this world to live up to your expectations, and you are not in this world to live up to mine. You are you and I am I, and if by chance we find each other, then it is beautiful. If not, it can't be helped.”
